The best daffodils that gardeners around Winton have meticulously cultivated will be on display at the town's annual flower show this weekend. Convener Daphne Batt said it had been four decades since the Winton Garden Club Spring Flower Show began, and it was only getting better.

"They sit there and look at them from all angles and make sure the petals are all in the right place." Mrs Batt said last year's show had about 1100 entries for flowers, and she was expecting just as many this year.
