Television gardener Jim McColl presented prizes to the winners of an art contest which was part of University of Aberdeen celebrations marking the birth of a great botanist.
Veronica Kubyshkina, a third year pupil from Robert Gordon's College in Aberdeen - won top prize in the competition which helped celebrate the 300th anniversary of birth of Carl Linnaeus, who created a system for naming plants and animals.
Jim, from the BBC's Beechgrove Garden, presented Veronica with a digital camera which was donated to University of Aberdeen organisers by the city store John Lewis.
Daniela Mujica, from St Margaret's School for Girls in Aberdeen, took second prize, and third prize went to Valeria Danilenko from the city's Torry Academy.
Hundreds of secondary school pupils entered the contest which involved them designing a poster which featured a picture they had drawn or taken of a plant of animal.
The art competition was one of the highlights of a weekend of events that saw the University's Zoology Museum, Natural History Centre and Cruickshank Botanic Garden open to the public.
Dr Andy Schofield, Academic Coordinator Promoting Science at the University and Linnaeus Co-organiser, said: "The Linnaeus celebration weekend was a huge success. All the winners thoroughly deserved recognition of their achievements. They demonstrated a curiosity about science and captured their ideas with great imagination and creativity.
"Special thanks must go to John Lewis for donating the first prize digital camera, and Jim McColl, for his enthusiasm and for presenting the awards."
