Tenby has retained its title as one of the top floral town's in Wales.
Months of hard work planting, weeding and watering flowers in the resort finally paid off on Monday when it was revealed that the town had again come up smelling of roses, winning the Wales in Bloom Small Town Trophy for the 12th year in succession and the 22nd time since the competition was launched.
Mayor of Tenby, Clr. Mrs. Christine Brown, who is also chairman of the town council's gardens committee, was "over the moon" about the success.
"We knew we would do well this year as we were able to plan our displays carefully," she said.
"We have three full-time gardeners and they were verbally congratulated by the judges for the amount of work they have put in," she continued.
"Although the quality of some of the flowers we had were not that good, the gardeners have made the best of them and with the bad weather, it has been a lot of hard work and quite an achievement to get all the flowers blooming.
"I just wish more local people, especially businesses, would also contribute to our winning, but unfortunately there seems to be a lot of apathy about putting out hanging baskets, particularly in Tudor Square.
"Next year we will be working fully with the Tenby in Bloom committee to achieve a better display outside businesses and other venues."
There were also floral celebrations in Narberth where the Queen's Hall netted a merit award in the public buildings section, while in the community environmental enhancement scheme, Sardis Parks and Gardens picked up second place in the small project category.
Commenting on the winners, competition chair, Clive Addison, said: "This year has been yet another success; everyone involved has worked very hard and the entries are again of a very high standard.
"There are many familiar names in the list of winners, showing the degree of commitment and hard work that horticulturists all over Wales put into ensuring that their communities look - and smell - fantastic! We look forward to many more years of the competition."
Wales Tourist Board chief executive, Jonathan Jones, added: "First impressions count for a lot in the tourism business and there is no better way to create a good and lasting impression than to present a clean and attractive image. This competition rewards those communities, businesses and schools - large and small - who work hard to improve their community's image, and we commend that."
