Paph Paradise. I bought plants from Dave this spring, including primary hybrids. My Charlene (haynaldianum x liemianum) has unexpectedly begun making a spike. The Web site said 2 more years. He has primaries that weren't there last time I looked.
Edit: Carter & Holmes has Paph. Avalon Mist, an easy to grow sequential blooming primary between glaucophyllum and primulinum. If you check C&H through the months they regularly offer Pinocchio and Helene Fujiwara, two easy and rewarding primaries.

I have primulinum and Pinocchio. Pinocchio blooms easily, sometimes with 2 flowers on 1 spike. I believe mine is flowering since January or February.
Primulinum however is a much larger plant but with a stunning smaller yellow flower. Bloomed also very easily. Currently it has its first flower.
For the people in Europe, Paph Ma Folie is one of my favorites. A primary hybrid made by Akerne. In the past I uploaded pictures to show its beauty. Check them out. Smaller than Pinocchio and with beautiful mottled leaves.

I second ES on Paph Paradise. I have purchased several plants from them, including the one I plan to use for the project. Their selection and quality are top notch.

I'm also going to give a shout out to Natt's Orchids here in Chicago. They have a lot of nice primary hybrids at the moment, particularly if you are interested in roths.

I ordered often from Akerne and so far I got what I ordered. Also when they advertised a plant as blooming size.
I've been eyeballing the Saint Swithin too. I have the Ma Folie already :-)
