With our short-growing season, I wasn’t sure I could get this to sprout, let alone grow, blossom, and fruit. So this makes me very happy.

very nice! i took pictures of my okra plants (and the many common lime butterflies it attracts) this last weekend! the flowers are pretty aren’t they?!
Arati- I love the flowers too. You must have some pretty big okra where you are. Did you post the pictures of the lime butterflies on your blog? I’ll check it out.
Yum! I remember growing okra as a kid: rows and rows of plants at least twice as tall as I was. But oh how I loved all the goodies Mom could make with it. And the flowers are just exquisite…
Jason, you must have grown up somewhere warm. I remember growing it in Nepal when it was at least six feet high and very productive.
What a gorgeous flower and photo! Reminds me of the Mariposa lily. It makes me want to grow okra–and I’m not even an okra fan!
Thanks Priscilla. I love the flower too. I didn’t become a fan of okra until I ate it in spicy dishes and chutneys in Nepal.
