Clean-up operations have started following flooding at a site in south west Scotland which is home to some of the world s rarest plants.
Heavy and persistent rain led to drains overflowing at Logan Botanic Garden at Port Logan near Stranraer on Thursday.
Curator Richard Baines said the situation had been very concerning as water poured across plant beds.
He said he was hopeful the plants would recover if recent rain eased up to allow the ground to dry.
