GARDAÍ HAVE ISSED an appeal for any members of the public who have had a substantial number of flowers go missing.

At first glance, the stash appears to include geraniums, hydrangeas and possibly some orchids (according to a google image search).

The items in question were recovered by Navan Gardaí and anyone with any information about where they might have come from is being encouraged to contact the station.

While this might seem like a bit of a bizarre request, they were quick to assure a Twitter user when asked that it wasn’t a joke.

@minnyshell No Joke ( we like to show our softer side !) We have the flowers they belong to someone.!
