This year’s Orchid Festival at Kew Gardens celebrates the incredible biodiversity of Colombia.
The standout highlight of the display is a carnival of animals, depicting a toucan in flight, a hanging sloth and a swimming turtle.
A surprise around every corner, visitors can spot hundreds of colourful butterflies suspended from the glass ceiling and a floating golden-yellow display to honour the legend of El Dorado.
Colombia has 4,270 species of orchids alone. Together with its sprawling landscape of tropical beaches to snow-capped mountains, Colombia is the perfect inspiration for this annual vibrant festival.
The Orchid Festival at Kew ends on Sunday, 10 March 2019.
I love orchids, and those you have photographed are absolutely beautiful. It must have been an amazing display.

It was incredible! And so much so because I visited this week, just a few days before the festival closes.

We are very lucky, but it would be impossible to see everything that was on offer.
