You can find them on ebay pretty cheaply. For instance, look here: http://search.stores.ebay.com/Exotic-Cactus-Collection_variegated_W0QQftsZ1QQsaselZ211050390QQsatitleZvariegatedQQsofpZ0 You may be having trouble because you're spelling "variegated" wrong. ;-)

Hi EZ, Arizona Cactus sales has about a dozen hybrids on their site (most of them are Schick). I notice that they just listed some new ones I don't have so I'll have to get on that :-) I also buy them from Huntington via mail order. You just missed their big spring sale at the gardens, but they will have another sale in October. I would love to be there for one of their sales because you can get the bigger plants that way. Also, Mexican Hat nursery in Riverside has hybrids (no mail order). The owner has his own named/unnamed hybrids. I got this one in the photo there. Another one that I purchased there is not nearly as beautiful. So if you can catch them when they are flowering, all the better. Mattslandscape: I have a few from him (love my Schick Day Dream) He answered my email a few months ago. He doesn't have the ability to do on-line ordering right now. Why not email him again with a specific request and see what happens? As I recall you have to be patient while waiting for your order. Miles2Go usually has some Echinopsis hybrids; some he hybridized himself. Fast Service, healthy plants. Bob Smoley's Plant World-good selection (Paramount, some Schick, Bill Hendrix, old German). He has mixed reviews for the speed of filling orders, but I think it's mostly regarding cuttings that have to be rooted. I ordered via snail mail in Feb or March and it only took about 3 weeks to get my plants. They aren't big, but they're only $4. each. Be prepared to get substitutions. I'm hoping to visit his nursery next year if I get to go to Florida. I have also purchased some off Ebay; some of us crazies did our best to run up the prices on the Schick offerings so some prices are inflated right now :-( Let us know what you get and please share flower pictures--I can never get enough!

Wow. Beautiful! None of my cacti have ever bloomed (except for the Mamm that I bought in bloom, but that doesn't count). Then again, the oldest one I have is only 2 years old. Great pics! Thanks for sharing and happy growing!

I got mine from Germany with quite a bit of work and money. I wish they were more available around these parts. I can never understand why certain parts of the globe can have access, such a privilege to such plants while us here do not. Oh well. Toni: Mines was just starting to color up, that is until these nasty clouds and rain moved in for days! I hope to keep it outside in full sun for a little longer as the sun pops out tomorrow! I am considering sending it to a great friend here, as his climate is more conducive to rapid growth and his ability to grow jades is astounding to get it to grow more rapidly. I will e-mail you my friend. Mike
