recycled flowers?

hi :)

i'm throwing an event next friday at Infinite Kaos in SF celebrating my new cd Gravity - i'm hoping to have flowers in the decor but am working with a modest budget - anyone have any tips on getting flowers that have been or will be thrown away and could get some good use for one night before flopping?

any suggestions or connections would be most welcome!

many thanks,
