With all eyes on London's Chelsea for the annual flower show this week, local restaurants are going all-out to get customers' stomachs there, too. The bid to get visitors to eat in the spirit of the festival sees flowers sprouting on menus across the capital.
The show, which starts tomorrow (19 May) was first launched in 1852 and moved to its current site at London's Royal Hospital Gardens in 1912.
It attracts close to 160,000 visitors per year, so it's no surprise that nearby chefs are using it as a great excuse to get a little green-fingered.
If you fancy doing a bit of floral cooking yourself, have a look at this useful website providing a full list of edible flowers.
Alternatively here are a few horticultural-inspired treats you might enjoy before, after or in between admiring the flowers.
