The answer: It's an Orchid.
This is an ORCHID, and unusual for its class as a climber. Most orchids we see are not climbers. The flower becomes a POD , the famous VANILLA BEAN. Vanilla is as expensive as silver these days and the best comes from north eastern Madagascar. The demand for vanilla is so high (most of it used in vanilla ice cream) that it has led to a lot of criminal activity in Madagascar such as theft etc.
Given the small number of viewers we have, and considering the number of comments received, I must say that Indra's Quiz series has become hugely popular. It was interesting to read the comments. Some had come very close, or even given the correct answer. As I see a few more contributions in line, for future quizzes (I gotcha! You may have thought my spelling had gone haywire. No, The plural of "quiz" is spelled with double "z"), I thought of giving only four days for viewers to send in answers.
