The Sexual Life of Flowers reveals the seduction operation playing out before your unsuspecting eyes. From the beautifully fragrant honeysuckle to the wondrous Amazonian giant waterlily, you'll discover the many tricks and wiles used by flowering plants to attract the bees, birds and other insects that are integral for their reproduction.
