I love this video, and so do my students. However, I
think "The Birds and The Bees", video #3 in David
Attenborough's Private Life of Plants, is superior. It
includes most of the same examples plus some extras.
It is part of a 6-video set (all excellent and
well-priced for educational videos). David Attenborough's
narration isn't as lurid as the narration in 'sexual
encounters,' which I refer to as the plant porno flick.
My copy says it is a BBC/Turner Home Entertainment
production.
