Flowers in Focus competition winners announced

We are delighted to announced the winning photos in the 2023 Flowers in Focus Competition.

All the entrants captured our flora looking fabulous and it was a hard decision to narrow down the photos.

We are now pleased to share the winning snaps. Thank you to everyone who entered!

The winning photos will be on display very soon in an outdoor exhibition in May Drive Parkland. Watch this space!

Thank you to Moonlight Cinema, Parks and Wildlife Service and Perth Zoo for donating the prizes.
