We're taking a closer look at the UK flower industry. Polly Nicholson specialises in rare flowers, using them in her own floristry business and selling them to other florists.
Stephen and Catherine Temple are farming tenants on the Holkham Estate in Norfolk. They've been running their business for decades and now want to take a step back, but can't find anyone to hand over the reins to.

Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
