Eric Hansen returned to the rain forest with the idea of building an orchid nursery to help the nomadic people he had come to know.
When Eric Hansen entered the Borneo jungle in search of rare orchids, he didn't know what he was letting himself in for. Five years later, he was still on the trail of one of the world's strangest obsessions and some of humanity's oddest obsessives.
Hilarious, bizarre and compelling, here is a tale of corruption, murder and plant politics; of smugglers, ice-cream makers and visionary breeders from the Orinoco River to the hothouses of Kew.
