What's in a name?
Why not give our Nature Quiz a name?
We all have names.
The flowers, trees, plants, rivers, forts, palaces, places- the subjects of our Contest- all have names.
So, our contest or quiz has also got a name.
Kaun Banega Ghumakkad कौन बनेगा घुमक्कड़ KBG in short. Meaning who will become a ghumakkad -the wanderer?
Hope you like the name.
We are at KBG Contest No. 6.

The flowers are located on the end of branches that have no leaves. These flowers have a bright pink to lilac color that is tinged with white. A pale yellow spot is usually at the flower's base. See the close up picture below.
Gliricidia sepium is native to tropical dry forests in Mexico and Central America. In addition to its native range it is cultivated in many tropical and subtropical regions, including the Caribbean, northern parts of South America, central Africa, parts of India, and Southeast Asia.
It is used for many purposes including live fencing, fodder, firewood, green manure, intercropping, and rat poison.
It is widely used in the form of poles for live fencing in India. So, if you want to recharge your soil and prevent rodents, plant a gliricidia sepium!
