Geoffrey Smith's World of Flowers

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

The plants we grow in our gardens are some of the richest and most varied in the world, but very few of them are native to this country. So where do they come from? Who brought them? How have we changed them? Poppies
Poppies are full of contrasts - from the simple flower of our cornfields in summer to the flamboyant, sun-loving aristocrats of our June borders. Geoffrey Smith explores a flower which grows from California to the Himalayas and has had such a powerful influence on the history of the world.
