Wild flowers
Description
Few places on Earth have such a variety of flowering plants as the sand-heath plains of southwest Australia. A few months of the year, these normally drab heath lands explode into a mass of living colour - and it's blossoming into big business! Now instead of rushing to clear the land, farmers cultivate purpose-bred hybrids for lucrative overseas markets and cater to the home-gardener with seed farms. Wild Flowers looks at the impact this new commercialism is having on flowers.
