Bishop Lydeard's annual Flower Show took over the village once again this year.
The event, which took place at the village hall on July 6, saw 120 entries in a total of 520 exhibits.
Children from the local primary school decked the hall with 60 3D models reflecting a vibrant rainbow theme.
The local Brownies made a significant contribution with their artistic paintings.
Local childminders and the school nursery also partook in the fun by creating monstrous artworks with their pre-school children, displaying a colourful gallery of 30 pictures.
Year Six pupils were applauded for their contribution to a creative writing competition in loving memory of Sir Arthur C Clarke.

Despite hurdles posed to fruit and vegetable growth this year, the quality of exhibits was unscathed, with green tomatoes drawing smiles from visitors.
The floral section of the event boasted a diverse range of breath-taking flowers, floral arrangements, and shrubs.
Home cooking was another highlight at the show with visitors marvelling at the 44 varieties of preserves and chutneys on display, and the cake judge braving to taste 25 cakes.
The photography section was fiercely competitive, boasting 60 sharp entries spread across five categories: Reflections, Feathered Friends, Sport, Food and Vintage.
