NEARLY 1,000 people visited the Darlington and District Orchid Society's annual show at The White Horse Hotel on Saturday and Sunday.
Visitors were asked to vote for their favourite orchid and the winner was a flower grown by one of the founding members of the society Tom Watson, who grew the favourite bloom last year.
Another prize was awarded to society member Elizabeth Fiddaway for her exhibits.
Mr Watson said: "It was an excellent weekend and we attracted a lot of visitors.
"Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and the exhibits went down very well.
