Life. Plants. Episode 9
Description
The drama of the plant world is impossible to view with the naked eye. But using the latest time-lapse technology, all is revealed: how a Venus flytrap snaps shut and imprisons its prey; how the animal-like grasping hooks of the cat’s claw creeper and the sticky pads of the Boston ivy help in their fight for light. Fly with the seed that inspired the design of gliders and watch the fastest growing plant on Earth rocket up 2 feet a day. Discover the water-trapping abilities of the bizarre dragon’s blood tree, which oozes red sap from its branches.
