RHS Chatsworth 2018 - Wednesday, 6th June...
A note from the Chair (Trish) - I was so lucky to get an unplanned day trip to Derbyshire.
The RHS theme focused on the diversity & beauty of orchids.
With 28,000 species worldwide, the family encompasses about 6–11% of all seed plants. The seeds produce monocotyledons. As well as being colourful orchids may be fragrant - Vanilla being one of their genus.![]() |
