Plants Behaving Badly

"Plantas Behaving Badly unveils a world of deception and betrayal worthy of any fiction thriller. Two groups of plants exhibit such intriguing behavior that they caught the attention of Charles Darwin over a century and a half ago, and these same plants continue to fascinate scientists today. In these two films, Plantas Behaving Badly reveals a world of deception and betrayal worthy of any fiction thriller. Darwin's book on 'The Origin of Species' shook the scientific world. However, it was his next book, entirely dedicated to orchids, that filled the gaps and clarified his revolutionary ideas. Orchids, with their ethereal beauty, whether growing in the hundreds in a misty forest or along suburban roadways, have only one purpose for their exotic flowers - to seduce pollinators."
