PBS documentary The Botany of Desire, in which journalist Michael Pollan uses four case studies to showcase how plants have evolved to appeal to a human desire. Pictured above: apples, grown for their sweetness, tulips for their beauty, marijuana for intoxication, and potatoes for control. A very interesting exploration of plant adaptation and botanical control, which has also shown me the appeal of running away to upstate New York to be an apple farmer.
