These species are not commonly available.  I suggest you join the Rhododenron, Magnolia & Camellia Group of the RHS  - you can see last year's seed exchange online at:

http://www.rhodogroup-rhs.org/seeds/list/ (http://www.rhodogroup-rhs.org/seeds/list/)

Also The American Rhododendron Society http://www.rhododendron.org (http://www.rhododendron.org) 

and

The Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden http://rhodygarden.org/cms/shop/order-plantsseeds/ (http://rhodygarden.org/cms/shop/order-plantsseeds/)   have lists as well.

These are the best sources of such rarities.

Thanks.  Had seen these species at a travel to huanlong national park. Was very impressed.
