May 21, 2026 The Gardeners Who Named the Flowers
Why is a dahlia called a dahlia? Who was the Bishop of Llandaff, and why does he have a flower named after him? Tonight on The Garden Path, Nigel explores the wonderfully strange history of how plants got their names — from Swedish botanists who never saw the flowers that bear their names, to Scottish adventurers gored to death in Hawaiian bull pits, to well-dressed British tea thieves. Behind every Latin label in your garden, there's a tale of obsession, courage, and gloriously irrational love for the green world.
