Artist Suzanne O'Driscoll shows off her latest creation - a floral display on a roundabout.

The flower bed, at the junction of Oxford and Dunmore Roads and Twelve Acre Drive, Abingdon, contains 6,000 plants, and will be seen by thousands of motorists a day. It is complemented by a 6ft-long white metal horse and blue metal arches representing the town's architectural heritage and ancient river bridge.

Ms O'Driscoll's work is being sponsored by Southern Arts as part of the Year of the Artist, supported by the Vale of White Horse District Council.

She said: "The idea was to enhance this gateway to Abingdon so that it reflects both the spirit of the town and the nature of the Vale of the White Horse."

Ms O'Driscoll's design, made in her studio at Blackthorn, near Bicester, shows the rolling hills of the Vale and winding river.
