Why this flower makes people obsessed

Radio 4 in Four

Available for over a year

The story of our relationship with Orchids is a story of obsession, money, deceit, beauty, femme fatales, ghosts deception and let's be honest, sex. Orchid flowers come in a variety of colours, shapes and sizes - but they all have one thing in common - they have evolved to maximise their chances of luring a pollinator and be fertilised - and they do so with such style! Presented by Brett Westwood. First broadcast on Natural Histories, 17 September 2018.
