The event is at the Wauchope RSL Club from 10am until 3.30pm.

The Port Macquarie Botanical Art Group will be on hand bring to life beautiful pictures of Australian plants.

Work from the classes will be presented so you can enjoy the art work and talk to the artists and gain an insight into how you can become an botanical artist, said society secretary Greg Elliott.

"Then we have John Riley displaying his wonderful water drawings of Australian Native Orchids," Mr Elliott said.

"John goes out into the Australian bush and paints these wonderful and unique orchids which some are very tiny but are unique to Australia. John will amaze you with his knowledge of the Australian orchids and many other things that he is known for, Australian Native Snails just to mention one.

"Of course the show benches will be a blaze of colour with many orchids in full bloom, with over 24 classes to accommodate the large variety or orchids; also there will be tables of foliage plants for you to look at."

Mr Elliott said there was also a sales table which will feature a choice of orchids in bloom, especially for Mother's Day.

The Hastings River Orchid Society wishes to thank the sponsors Wauchope RSL Club.

"We look forward to seeing families bringing their mothers out for this show and going home with a plant off the sales table," Mr Elliott added.
