From colourful orchids to lush ferns and eye-catching foliage, the Herbert River Orchid and Allied Plant Society’s annual show had plant lovers stopping to smell the flowers!
Now in its 52nd year, the event brought together local growers, curious visitors and plenty of impressive plants. Adding a little extra excitement this year were three junior competitors, aged five, 10 and 14, who brought along their own plants to showcase.
With plenty of knowledge shared and fun enjoyed, the annual show proved there’s no shortage of green thumbs around the Herbert River.
