Plants are amazing....
From threes that weigh 2,000 tonnes, to plants that live over 5,000 years (still alive since before the Great Pyramid of Egypt was built). They transform our planet, parasitise and even kill other plants and a few actually eat animals as big as rats. Lastly, meet the sensitive plant, whose leaves close as soon as they are touched, and discover how to grow this amazing plant at home!
Join Stewart McPherson on a quest to discover some of the world's most amazing plants!
This is the fourth of a series of fourteen "World's Most Spectacular Plants" videos.
