The 300-year-old heritage of the Royal Hospital Chelsea as a "home for soldiers broken by age and war" will be reflected in a garden at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show next month.

The gardening charity, the RHS, is asking for help in finding rare and missing daffodils that are feared lost to history and science.

The RHS is also calling on the public to record where and when they see daffodils appearing this spring.

RHS scientist Dr Kálmán Könyves has spent 15 years studying "these remarkably fascinating plants".

A deal to let grownups on the RHS "no adults allowed" garden, which is not being judged, was secured after what was described as "tough negotiating" by the society's director general Clare Matterson.
