Talks about pollinators, their importance and how to offer them a top-notch habitat, have become popular in recent years. But what about how that pollination actually happens? Sexual Encounters of the Floral Kind takes us into the world of pollination inside the flowers themselves. This film was commissioned by David Attenborough and produced by Oxford University for a TV series called “The World About Us”. It may date from 1981, but the story it tells (and shows!) about the unusual ways plants coerce insects, birds, mammals and spiders to engage in behavior that fulfills the act of pollination is still fresh, astonishing, delightful and at times, hilarious.
