Onions are big winners at flower show


BREATHTAKING blooms and a selection of greens were on display at a flower and vegetable show.

Halstead’s Queen’s Hall hosted the town’s horticultural society event, where people showed off their work.

Prizes were awarded in categories including the best in show chrysanthemums, domestic produce and onions.

Society president Peter Robertson said: “I was astounded by the blooms. We just don’t see them apart from in pictures, usually. To see them in real, true life form, it was exquisite.”
