Micheleen Florists
An indoor-market florist in a building most Glaswegians have opinions about.
A trade shaped by offices, hotels and hospitals
City-centre floristry runs on a weekday rhythm that has almost nothing to do with how the rest of the city buys flowers. The volume here is office deliveries, hotel receptions, leaving presents, and the steady traffic of people buying something on the way to a station or a ward. That produces a particular kind of shop: strong on formal vase arrangements, quick over the counter, and frequently closed or quiet at the weekend.
The range on this page is unusually wide. Flowers by Suzy Liu at the top of High Street has the best-built online shop of any independent in the city; Micheleen Florists, in a unit inside the Savoy Centre, has the cheapest serious flowers in Glasgow. They are four hundred yards and an entire philosophy apart.
Getting around
Buchanan Street, St Enoch and Cowcaddens subway stations, plus Central and Queen Street, put every shop here within a ten-minute walk of somewhere you are probably already going. Driving is the wrong answer in every case.
