Narrated by Timothy West
My Lord Duke: Victoria has shown Itower. An enormous bud like a great poppy head made its appearance yesterday morning ... The latest leaf is four feet eight and a half inches in diameter. JOSEPH PAXTON In November 1849 the giant waterlily Victoria regia flowered for the first time in Europe. Almost overnight, Chatsworth, the stately home of the Dukes of Devonshire, became a place of pilgrimage.
The story of the lily begins with its discovery in the tropical jungles of South America. Fifty years later it was to provide the inspiration for the design of the Crystal Palace, built for the Great Exhibition of 1851. With DOUGLAS BLACKWELL
MALCOLM HAYES , DAVID MARCH and JO MANNING WILSON
