More than 5,000 dahlias have been put on display at Stonehenge, paying homage to shows nearly 180 years ago.
They feature in a three-day exhibition at the visitor centre in the style of a traditional flower show.
The arrangements have been made by clubs in Wiltshire, with the blooms grown by local members of the National Dahlia Society.
English Heritage has also re-started a dahlia competition - a "New Hero of Stonehenge" will be chosen.
