If you don't mind driving to Chelsea, you can probably find them at "Hazel's Backyard Haven" for a fraction of the cost you would pay elsewhere. I would call Joseph first to see if he has any on hand (678-8824).

Do you want instant gratification or can you wait for delayed gratification? If you can wait until February you can dig all the oakleaf hydrangeas you want for FREE at the Birmingham plant dig. Plus, if you plant them in February they will begin establishing roots and have a lesser chance of dying due to summer stress. FREE vs. $$$. Hmmmmm!

If you wanted to go ahead and buy, you could also check with Plant Odyssey. They have a lot of beautiful hydrangeas right now from what I remember from when I was there last week, and their plants are generally reasonably priced. Its too bad that you missed the Botanical Garden's spring plant sale last month! I got a gorgeous 'PeeWee' Oakleaf for a good price.

Call the Aldridge Gardens in Hoover. Their hydrangea sale was the weekend of May 9th. I am sure they still have some hydrangeas left for sale - not sure specifically about oakleafs.
