There is a shrub that flourishes in Zimbabwe which is highly scented and whose flowers last only three days. It is called the Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow Tree. When Anne Catchpole first set foot in the country she discovered not only the shrub but also a land very different from that of the preconceived notions she had brought with her in her luggage. Through her own journey of enlightenment, she reveals, in three programmes, the three distinct phases in the flowering of the nation of Zimbabwe.
