Episode notes

Why do flowers smell so good — and who are they actually trying to impress? This one is for Emma. Join Miss Cam, Nate, and Emma to discover that a flower is not a decoration at all, but a message, and almost none of it is meant for us. Find out how a flower climbs out of a seed no bigger than a crumb, why petals are really a billboard, why some flowers save their perfume for the middle of the night, and how a bee accidentally does the most important job in the garden while trying to get a snack. Meet the corpse flower, taller than a grown-up, that grows six inches a day and smells like rotten meat on purpose. Meet baby sunflowers that follow the sun all day and swing back east while you sleep. And find out what a bee can see on a flower that you never will. Turn your imaginations ON!
