Paramount Orchids was started in 1995. We've been growing orchids for 20 years, and currently have four greenhouses with approximately 50,000 orchid plants, most of which are intermediate to warm growing.

We specialize in phalaenopsis (mainly imported from Taiwan), and we also carry a very good selection of oncidium intergenerics (oncidiums, miltonias, brassias, odontoglossums, odontonias, odontocidiums, colmanaras, burragearas, vuylstekearas, brassidiums, miltonidiums, wilsonaras, miltassias, etc), as well as paphiopedilums, cattleya alliance, some dendrobiums and a very wide variety of species . 

We are located on the outskirts of the City of Calgary on 101 Street SW (view the map).

We sell retail on the weekends from noon to five pm, or by special appointment for other times; wholesale appointments are scheduled throughout the week, Tuesday to Friday. Payment options include cash, cheque, MasterCard, Visa or debit cards.

NOTE:    Mail order shipments currently are processed from May to October (weather permitting) except for large orders (in excess of $200) which can be shipped AirCargo year round. Unless otherwise specified, we send the plants by Express Post with delivery generally occurring within three business days. Shipping is charged at actual cost though there is a  handling charge for each foreign order. Alternative methods of shipping, such as bus service, have been used with excellent results though for shipments going further than 500 miles, we believe that Express Post is preferable. 

We have a multiple export CITES permit which, together with our nursery's Plant Protection certification, permits us to ship to the United States. At the present time there is no CITES or certification documentation fee charged nor should you need an import permit from the United States authorities however there is a $20 (Canadian) handling fee. Plants will be shipped in pot or bare root, as you prefer.

Please note that for shipments to the U.S. we require a minimum order of $75 Canadian.

For our US customers, please note that all prices listed on the web page are in Canadian Dollars. If you are not paying by Visa or MasterCard (in which case the current exchange rate is automatically calculated) but instead wish to send an international money order or bank draft  in US funds, the exchange rate to use would be one US Dollar for every one Canadian Dollar.
