Flower People Command: Inhale the Flower

This clip seems to be making the rounds under the heading of those strange Germans. Any idea what show this was and when it was broadcast?

I loved that show when I watched it as a kid in the 80's. I think it was about some extraterrestrial meteorite, where these children would go into and get special powers by sniffing these flowers.

Those Czech series were great! There is another called "Ein Hamster im Nachthemd" (a hamster in a pyjama).

Another demonstration of how easily an entire people--in this case, Germans, but it could just as well be others--can be filed away under a label.

A socialized version of Wyndham's "Triffids"--that's funny, AK.

Thanks to The Wife for putting things right.

It´s obviously a Czech remake or a socialized version of "The Day of the Trifids"

We plead not guilty your honor. The Wife is right, it's indeed a Czechoslovakian production.

It's probably the author's attempt to visualize the Communist Utopia in a way comprehensible for our still class-restricted minds.

It's a WDR production called: Drop Acid Today

No way is this German! I mean, consider the boy's pudding bowl hairstyle and the general mode of politeness! This is one of the Czech TV series so beloved by German children in the 1970s and 1980s, called "Der Fliegende Ferdinand":
