NATURAL history secrets of Silsden will be revealed by local man Paul Redshaw at a talk next month.

In his "tales of two orchids" event he promises to reveal the discoveries of a 90-year-old mystery.

He will talk about the Ladies Slipper Orchid, Britain's rarest orchid, and the Bee Orchid.

Mr Redshaw describes himself as a naturalist, botanist, qualified teacher, environmental consultant, landscape architect, landscape photographer and Royal Botanical horticulturist.

There will be a raffle, and someone will win a hardy orchid.

The talk is at Silsden Methodist Church on April 25 from 3-5pm. Admission will be £2.50.
