venue for our Annual Show, whilst

Orchid nurseries and

one of the largest displays of orchids you could
find.
In addition to the
various class awards,
two perpetual challenge trophies will be given for
the best species (won last year by Tina Stagg with a wonderful brassia verricosa) and best hybrid ( won
last year by Margaret Birk's Colmonara
Jungle Monarch ) on our own display.
Not only will
visitors admire the beauty of
hundreds of orchids in full bloom, but they will also
be able to buy from a selection of orchids for sale
to suit all tastes and pockets, from a simple
and inexpensive houseplant to those hard to find
plants for the dedicated orchid grower, and
lots of advice for beginners as well.
This show is always
held at Tatton Park the month before the RHS

RHS Tatton Park Flower Show since its inception,
winning several medals for our display of
orchids; last year we were
again honoured to receive a GOLD MEDAL and the
trophy for the best display in the marquee -
fourth year running for our display
in the Societies Tent.

Did you know that orchids are the largest
family of flowering plant life? There are over

these was enough to fill the Tenants Hall Tatton
Park with many massive displays of blooms for the
enjoyment of those who visit us on the 5th and
