THE PRIVATE LIFE OF PLANTS; 6 DVDs, USA EDITION, David Attenborough HORTICULTURE

Description: This is a rare 6 DVD set of David Attenborough's "The Secret Life of Plants." The sketchy information I have is these DVDs were used (or were going to be used) in a promotional campaign. This series was made in the mid-1990's before HD technology. The quality is good, but not great. The DVDs are multi-region (or all-region) and will play anywhere. Each DVD comes in a plain jewel case with basic information printed on it. There are no inserts and no artwork. The DVDs are sealed. I have a 100% perfect feedback rating! Buy with confidence! David Attenborough's thrilling series, taking us on a guided tour through the secret world of plants, is captured on this amazing DVD set. The account of plant life's struggle for survival is seen as never before in a story full of drama, beauty and staggering achievement. Attenborough takes us through each aspect of plants' lives traveling, growing, flowering, their struggle with other plants and animals, and the ingenious way they adapt to even the harshest of conditions. From the 290-foot-high California Sequoia or the rattan plants that use ferocious ants as bodyguards, to the insect- and even rat-devouring pitcher plants of Borneo, the mysteries of the plant world are unraveled. Using fantastic time-lapse photography, Attenborough shows us plant life in action; beautiful filming highlights the biggest, brightest and the most bizarre of plants and, with the aid of computer graphics, we enter the inner workings of the bodies of plants. Prepare to be surprised and delighted as Attenborough takes you on a journey through a world you thought you knew. The quality of this series is truly remarkable and its title is not misleading: It reveals the private life of plants in a breathtakingly new way. It shows how varied the strategies of plants are in the struggle for survival and it sheds light on the intricate ways in which plants and animals have adapted to each other. The quality of the time-lapse photography in this six-part series is truly amazing. Camera movements, focus shifts and perfect lighting create dramatic time-lapse sequences with a quality unmatched by anything else that has been shown on TV. It's simply a class of its own. See how plants crawl, fight, and devour other plants and animals. The series also demonstrates how plants and animals live together, a relationship forged by half a billion years of co-evolution, and how plants often exploit animals - not the other way around. You'll never see plants in the same way as before. disc 1. Branching Out disc 2. Putting Down Roots disc 3. The Birds and the Bees disc 4. Plant Politics disc 5. Living Together disc 6.
