There is a reliable Japanese vendor who sells on eBay.  I have ordered from them with good luck.  You can also order some excellent hippeastrums from bulk domestic dealers (Sunshine etc.) and niche breeders ( Mary Mancini ?) on eBay.  I haven't ordered from them in a few years so my info might be outdated.
