Horticulturalists Anja Seymour and Henck Röling add finishing touches to a lion’s mane composed of flowers.

The living sculpture forms part of a display for the Kew Orchid Festival which opens to the public this weekend at the Princess of Wales Conservatory.

This year’s festival theme is Cameroon, taking inspiration from the country’s variety of some of the most endangered orchids.

The event also showcases other coconut husk sculptures including giraffes, hippos and gorillas.

Cameroonian inspired dishes can also be enjoyed at one of the Gardens’ cafés or restaurants.
