Dear Nature Lovers,
Greetings from oikos !
Native plants are being used traditionally for various purposes. Sagargota is one such climber which is being used as hedge plant since years. Due to its thorny character it is planted to protect the land. Flowers are bright yellow so this plant can also be used in beautification. |
Regards,
Ketaki & Manasi.
