Default Blue oil fern questions

I've recently learned about the blue oil fern, which seems to be either microsorum thailandicum or microsorum steerei, both are just gorgeous and I would love to grow one, but I can't seem to find any for sale, or even many people growing them in private collections (which is very surprising, they're so beautiful). I heard they were supposed to be pretty widely available, has anyone heard of them or grow them? If so do you know where I could find a good internet source?

Hi,
Do check with this nursery as they do export.

Hi Quinn,

Yep, they are gorgeous! I have a few of the M. thailandicum and the color really gets crazy when the leaves are wet. With our recent deluge though they are pretty unhappy. Watch out for over-watering them. Wanna at ILOVEFERNS.com sells them from time to time and ships internationally if you can't find them closer to home.
