Mike,
I commend your desire to find Cymbidium species. However, I hope that you are well versed on the conditions required for each of the species. You do not say where in the US you are located. Your climate will have a lot to do with your overall success in growing and blooming the species well. What I find sad is well meaning people collecting species, and then, through the vagaries of Mother Nature, lose them because they cannot provide the growing conditions these plants need.
There are many growers of Cym species in the US, some commercial but most are non-commercial hobbyists. Much has also been done with improving the species by the breeding of superior clones and even trying conversion to 4n forms. Many plants coming in from off shore distributors are collected and/or common forms. One exception I know of personally is Royale Orchids in Australia which has good clones of most of the three species native to the area but again, CITES is hovering.
Before going through the hassle of CITES and miles of paperwork, and then not be assured of even getting the plants into the US without potential fumigation, I would suggest you exhaust all US sources first. SBOE and Hatfield Orchids, both in the Santa Barbara area, and Andy's Orchids in Southern Ca. to name but three are reputable commercial sources. None of them have all the species but between the three, you should be able to get a good sampling, keeping in mind the climate conditions of each you purchase.
Finding hobbyists who grow the species is harder as we tend to keep a low profile, do not have divisions always available and usually do not ship plants. If you have access to the AOS/AQ awards information and the time to do it, check to see which species have been awarded and who had the plant at the time. You will need to do some dedicated research but it may be worth it in the long run.
Good Luck,
CL
