DEVIZES Corn Exchange was a sea of colour on Saturday as the Wiltshire Orchid Society held its annual show.
Show secretary Simon Pugh-Jones said it had a great success.
He said: "We had more than 300 people through the doors. The plants on show were all grown from seed in cultivation and so the show was a great chance to see rare plants and have a go at growing them. The blooms came from all over the world and some of them are extremely exotic."
There was also a chance to buy British spotted orchids that had been grown from seed.
Fans of TV gardening programmes were able to meet the famous orchid growers from Writhlington School in Somerset, who featured in Gardeners' World on BBC2 last year. Among the rarest blooms on show was the lost slipper orchid, Paphiopedilum Sanderianum, which normally grows in the jungles of Borneo, but is an endangered species.
