Okra Flower – Abelmoschus esculentus

            Okra is sometimes known as Ladies Fingers and is a perennial plant but it is often grown as an annual and it is thought that it is related to cotton, cocoa, and hibiscus.  The flowers are about 4 – 8 cm in diameter with five white to yellow petals and have a red or purple spot at the base of each petal.  Okra is among the most heat and drought tolerant vegetable species in the world and can tolerate an array of different soil types.  An interesting fact I found was that Okra comes in two varieties green and red, the red Okra carries the same flavour as the green but when cooked the red Okra pods they turn green.
