Flower fans are expected to flock to a show staged by the Darlington and District Orchid Society.

Top nurseries will be at the group's annual show, which is to be held at the White Horse Hotel, in North Road, this weekend. Paintings and greeting cards by society member Janet Orme will be on sale.

The hall will be decorated with orchid-themed art by Haughton Community School and a group of local artists called Art for Art's Sake.
