I'm pretty sure that California Carnivores sells byblis seeds. I think byblis is an annual, so maybe that's why you can't find it as a grown plant.

I guess they may have run out. Cooks Carnivorous plants has a byblis liniflora 10 Seed Packet for about $7.

Ok, I don't know what the deal is with Byblis. I grow some, and I find it to be rather overrated. Sure, the flowers are pretty, but I just don't see the appeal of the common species. I would much rather grow a nice sundew.

I will say that $7 is waaay to much to pay for ten seeds. You should consider joining the ICPS and getting seeds from the seedbank. You will get more for less.

It is like $35 to join the first time, but then you get the CPN and access to the seedbank.
