Correct Names on Packages of Bulbs?

I used to be a florist, brought spent potted bulbs home for years. Don't have that luxury anymore so this year I purchased half a dozen packages of Oriental lily bulbs from random sources and half of them were not correctly labeled.

Is this common?

I bought Regale lilies and got pale yellow Asiatics, can't remember the source. One of those Van somebodies. Bought at a nursery, not big box store.

I bought Bahia Blanca and Expression from Costco and the photo of Expression on the package isn't Expression so while what I got are Expression, they don't look like what I thought they were going to look like.

Triumpinator and Tom Pouce from Wal*Mart were correctly labeled. I was surprised, I thought of all they wouldn't be.
