Gazania and Thorns

Ever seen thorns around Gazania flowers? Gazanias are a riot of colour. Does a Gazania plant have thorns?

KBG- Kaun Banega Ghumakkad- your favourite online Nature and Travel Quiz is back. In its 50th edition, we have a simple question for you. For a change, you are not to identify the flower! Instead, the question is 'what is a thorny branch doing next to a Gazania flower?' See the picture below.


Do you need a clue? See the next picture.


Got it? Or, you need another clue? Here it goes!

By now you should have got it. Shoot your response. First three correct answers will be the Winners of Kaun Banega Ghumakkad KBG-50!

Those who missed KBG-49, the previous edition of Kaun Banega Ghumakkad, we had featured a hill top shrine in Hyderabad. There are many hill top shrines in Hyderabad. Many readers confused it with Maula Ali. The clue was vegetation around and the surrounding rock shapes. There was only one correct answer. The winner's announcement of KBG-49 is reproduced below.


Thanks for participating and all the best for KBG-50!

Hope 2021 will not be as stressful! Stay connected, stay safe.
