David Attenborough's thrilling
series, taking us on a guided tour
through the secret world of plants, is
captured on this amazing video. The
account of plant life's struggle for
survival is seen as never before in a
story full of drama, beauty and
staggering achievement. Attenborough
takes us through each aspect of plants'
lives travelling, growing, flowering,
their struggle with other plants and
animals, and the ingenious way they
adapt to even the harshest of
conditions.
From the 290-foot-high California
Sequoia or the rattan plants that use
ferocious ants as bodyguards, to the
insect and even rat-devouring pitcher
plants of Borneo, the mysteries of the
plant world are unravelled. Using
fantastic time-lapse photography,
Attenborough shows us plant life in
action; beautiful filming highlights the
biggest, brightest and the most bizarre
of plants and, with the aid of computer
graphics, we enter the inner workings of
the bodies of plants. Prepare to be
surprised and delighted as Attenborough
takes you on a journey through a world
you thought you knew.
