Start calling local florists... In my town there is a couple florists where if you give them a week or two (they prefer more heads up), they will have what you need, and they love it if you have something specific in mind, and will usually work with you to make a great arrangement.

Remember, just about anything can be grown at any location with the proper care, and a greenhouse.

As Kurty suggests, talk to your local florist... they can get anything with a bit of advance notice... IMO everyone should find a good local florist and add it to their list of things like: a good local butcher, fish monger, bakery, etc.

It's not the same as real lilacs... (and I love lilacs) but what about silk lilacs with a bottle of lilac fragrance?

(and use Mikey Chalupa's line about loving them til these flowers die
Lilac Silk Flowers

Lilac Essential Oil

I wonder if an airport florist is the best bet.

I was looking for something else - I was curious to know what lilacs meant - -every flower has some sort of meaning and stumbled into this site:
http://www.freshflowersandmore.com/fflr-hydrangea.html

for the record - Lilacs mean:
Lilac-purple: First Emotion of Love
Lilac-white: Youthful innocence
http://www.weddingflowersandmore.com...r-meanings.htm

Are you in SLC? If so, you're telling me that The Flower Patch on State Street and 5th South can't help you? That's the first time I've ever heard of that happening. Those guys have come through for me a bunch (ha ha) of times.
