Beautiful orchids in all shapes and sizes are on display in Kew Gardens in London.

Kew holds an orchid festival each year and the theme for 2017 is India.

The festival is showing how plants are used in Indian culture and everyday life.

The displays are full of bright colours and exotic orchids.

This member of staff is having to use a lift to tend to the tall orchids that are on show in the conservatory.

Altogether, 3,600 orchids are on display and the festival is on until 5 March.
