Allow me to help you along what will probably become an addiction:

Anastasia (Orienpet) and Crystal Blanca (the latter being a shorter Casablanca), an easy oriental (picture 1)

Lilium Sorbonne ( a really easy oriental) and Diana Gibson of B&G\'s favorite oriental (picture 2)

Silk Road, one of the earlier orienpets (picture 3)

RedAlert, a scented longiflorum asiatic (picture 4)

B&D is a great supplier, and your best bulbs will almost certainly come from them, followed by those of The Lily Garden. I have also successfully ordered from The lily Pad. I would very much encourage you to check Dave\'s Garden Watchdog before ordering. Some of the companies you listed have a troubled history. Another source I can recommend is Brent and Becky\'s Bulbs. Not as extensive a selection, but many wonderful lilies, great customer service and low prices for great plants - but you must buy five, which you can often get for less than the price of two of others.
