The background orchids are the large standard cymbidiums and these give the display an excellent base from which to grow.

The spaces are gradually filled in with tall, showy odontoglossums and oncidiums with the brightly coloured phalaenopsis and phragmipediums too.

The level gradually slopes down to the lower varieties of miniature phalaenopsis, miltoniopsis, brassias and coelogynes. Many of these are sweetly fragrant which really sets the flowers off.

Finishing touches are done, including bark avenues, moss to disguise pots and name cards on the plants for identification.

The final medal-winning display, we hope that all the visitors enjoy the show.

We are very pleased to announce that we gained a Gold Medal at the 2001 Chelsea Flower Show. Thank you to all the visitors who came to see our orchids at this year's world famous premier gardening event
