First Flower Traces the Origins of Flowers We Know Today
Friday, May 16th, 2008

Nova aired this special about the origins of flowers a few months ago; an exploration of what they found is available online.

See a slideshow of Chinese exports–flowers, plants and trees that originated in China, but that we are very familiar with today in the west.

See a multitude of video extras that didn’t make it into the special, like the origins of the hydrangea.
