A FRAGRANT and colourful flower show impressed judges and spectators with the best of spring's blooms.

Judges said the Wyke Regis Horticultural Society's Spring Show was one of the best shows they had seen this year with many outstanding features.

Two halls were filled with a high standard of garden flowers.

Show secretary Colin Giles said: "The members and public alike were impressed by the high standard achieved by the competitors who themselves were proud of the overall result.

"Ray Hayward from Milborne St Andrew dominated the daffodil classes with some magnificent blooms although the challenge from other members gave close competition.

"In the children's classes three-year-old Chloe Roberts of Westham won most points with Jessica Sheppard aged five of Chickerell producing the best exhibit with her delightful miniature garden."

He added: "Overall, it was a rewarding event for the organising committee who were grateful for the many exhibits and high standards and also for the considerable help they received from other members of the society in producing the show."
