5.0 out of 5 stars Nature at its best, August 26, 2002

By A Customer

This is the best nature series I've ever seen. If you can buy no other series, buy this one. David Attenborough gives you both an overview and a detailed look at plants. If you thought plants were quiet, uninteresting inhabitants of the planet, these films will change your mind. David Attenborough is a very knowledgable guide who knows where to look for things and he has a splendid crew to do the photography worldwide.

5.0 out of 5 stars Captivating, January 5, 2000

By	Ronald Bingham - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As you watch the plants via time lapse you realise that they are not the passive, peaceful and pretty things we use or destroy at our whim. You see the wild and violent world with similar predators, prey and power struggles as the animal kingdon contains. It's just we move to fast (or don't look closely enough) to realise it.P.S. sorry about the alliteration. T'was an accident.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible work - you will not be disappointed!, December 20, 1999

By A Customer

This video set is a must-buy. I know that the subject of plants doesn't sound exciting, but trust me there is more plot, suspense and adventure in these videos than you can imagine. Having bought other works of David Attenborough (Trials of Life), I knew the cinematography would be beautiful and figured that the time-lapse sequences would be exquisite. But I never imagined that these videos would forever change the way I view plants, their relationship with animals, or our place in the world.
