ONE of the region's magnificent stately homes has been transformed into a riot of colour for the Great Northern Flower Show.
Until Sunday, the grounds of Castle Howard, near Malton in North Yorkshire, are playing host to the best efforts of hundreds of growers, both amateur and professional.
Boasting a wide range of attractions from prize gardens to jazz bands, the event features a large floral pavilion, full of specialist nurseries.
They include flowers and arrangements produced especially for the Queen's Golden Jubilee as well as the official rose of the Commonwealth Games, called Simply the Best.
