  • "David Attenborough reveals the incredible secrets of the plant world. Crawling, flying, exploding, thieving, fighting, killing, plants as you have never seen them before! Filmed around the globe, The private life of plants was three years in the making. Of all living things, plants are the most successful. They have colonised every part of the globe, they can live longer, grow bigger, even come back from the dead. The private life of plants uses the very latest techniques in computer animation, high-speed and time-lapse photography to reveal the many and ingenious ways that plants solve the problems of survival. Plants lead thrilling lives, but on a very different timescale from our own. As David comments: "We tend to look at the world from entirely our point of view, and we tend to think that flowers are somehow or other there to delight us. You don't even see what is happening below the surface and it isn't until you see the film that you realise what actually took place. Suddenly you see this extraordinary drama, the most intriguing, beautiful and sometimes frightening behaviour. 'There's a great pleasure in feeling that you've completed something that you've plotted 3 years ago. Sometimes the scale of it, or the beauty of it or the grace of it is what astonishes you, like the Giant Sequoya, the most massive living thing on Earth. One of the plants that I wanted to see more than anything else was an extraordinarily rare plant called a morpho phallus tytanum which produces a bloom 9 feet high and four feet across. It only flowers once in a 1000 days and when the flower develops, it only lasts for 3 days, so very few people have seen it, and finding it was a great thrill. 'Plants are the oldest living organisms on earth. Without these organisms, neither you nor I would exist. There would be no food, no animals, no life on earth.' For David Attenborough, the making of The private life of plants was a personal voyage of discovery into an unknown world."@en

Explore the ingriguing world of the plant kingdom through breatking time-lapse photography in exotic world-wide locations."@en
  • ""Each programme in this six-part series focuses on one of the crucial stages through which every plant must pass if it is to survive: - travelling, growing and flowering ; struggling with one another; creating alliances with other organisms both plant and animal; and evolving complex ways of surviving in the earth's most ferociously hostile environments ... Attenborough and his team travelled to all corners of the globe, from the tropical jungles of Borneo to the harsh deserts of Africa, from the high mountains to the thickest swamps. Using time-lapse photography and state-of-the-art techniques specially developed for this series, he shows us plant life in action as it has never been seen before."--Container."@en
