For the Love of Rhododendron

Episode 3 - A treasure-trove of experiences

Synopsis: In this episode we learn about Ryan Fuller's research on Rhododendron evolution in the Hengduan Mountains of China. We learn how this magical place spawned Ryan's polyploidy problems, how the people in Yunnan welcomed him, and how the rather practical goal of collecting plant samples led him to adventures worthy of the most ambitious bucket-list of experiences.
