Where to buy Lilac flowers in Glasgow ?

Hi,

I will be in Scotland on 12/06/2011 to engage to my girlfriend in Eilean Donan Castle. I know that she loves lilac flowers like this:

I'm sure that I would make her dream come true if I would have a bouquet of them while engaging to her.

There is flower service near the castle, but they do not have bouquets with those flowers, so I'm asking you for help. Do you know any place I could order with delivery (best online) a bouquet of such flowers in Glasgow?

Thanks!

Call off the engagement, she's far too good for you.

Why would you ask photographers where you can buy flowers? Can I feel spam coming on?

Looks like he joined in Decenber last year, lives in Vietnem, has no gallery or other information and makes his first posting about flowers 6 months after creating an account. I wonder how we knows about the flower service by the castle and what flowers they DON'T sell!

scuse my ignorance, but why would this automatically be spam? i would say photographers are exactly the people to ask, its a top 5 subject, flora..
he obviously has researched the local area and discovered they dont sell them.. why is that an issue? i honestly dont get it/
i havent been on here for ages.. i look but dont write.. really since they dropped the original dcm format..i think quite a lot of us original subscribers did the same..
doesnt mean im a spammer..

Not automatically spam but there have been several posts over recent months of a similar nature all of which were spam.

You don't have to be a contributor at all if you don't want to. But are you telling me he joined this forum nearly six months ago without posting anything, and the one and only post he has made is totally unrelated to photography. He asked where to buy a particular type of flower from a retailer some 3,500 miles away, which has nothing to do with capturing an image with a camera. A photographer may happen to take an image of an aeroplane, but that doesn't make him or her a pilot.
