- Summary
- Pathe synopsis: Inland now to St Albans, where exotic flowers usually associated with trade winds and the tropics, are cultivated by orchid expert David Sander. From tiny seeds these future blooms pass through many phases over a period of five years before reaching maturity. But the time and trouble involved is amply compensated, for one of these tiny plants may eventually prove to be a champion and worth a small fortune.
