Yesterday I happen to post about making Moringa and ended up making Tea out of it for the first time. While going to collect the leaves, I took quite a few photos with my phone and I thought why don't I show the biodiversity to the rest of the world. Here is me showing off :)
Now, show us what you have in your backyard !

I will also post names for the plants if I know what they are.
