Default Visit to Paramount

Just got back from a trip to Calgary where I got the chnace to shop at paramount in person. I picked up 8 slippers. From the top clockwise are Golddollar (in bud), Don Wimber, Lynleigh Koopowitz (in bud), venustum (at last I have our project plant!), Norito Hasagawa (in bud), Wossner Armenijack (in bud), besseae and in the middle is It's Doll. In a few weeks I should be getting the first blooms!

The second pic is a closer view of venustum. Hopefully it will bloom within a year.

Fren, I have pics taken from Paramount. I took about 600 pics on the trip overall so it may take a week or so to sort them out but I'll post them once I get around to it.
