More than 10,000 daffodils are set to be on show at a festival held in a church in Cornwall.
This year is the ninth time the Mawgan Church Daffodil Festival has been held in the Grade I Listed church in the village of Mawgan, near Helston.
The festival celebrates both the flower and the industry, hailed by the festival's organisers as an important part of the local economy for more than 100 years.
The festival will be open from 10:30 to 16:30 GMT from 15 to 17 February, organisers said.
Wardens at the church are organising the event, which has been described by villagers as "a wonderful community event which brings together dozens of people to arrange the displays, bake delicious cakes, welcome the visitors and serve the refreshments".
The daffodils for the festival are being provided by Rowes Farming Ltd, according to the event's organisers.
