The sun is shining and Harrogate Spring Flower Show is in full bloom.
The annual gardening festival returned to the Great Yorkshire Showground, Harrogate, earlier this week to celebrate the very best in horticulture.
With the theme ‘Let Us Entertain You’, this year’s Spring Flower Show features the biggest exhibition by florists and flower arrangers in the country, alongside live talks and demonstrations, and garden shopping.
The show expects up to 40,000 visitors as it continues until Sunday April 26.
Here are 31 vibrant pictures of the Harrogate Spring Flower Show so far.
