These shots were taken over the last two days of blossoms on my two okra plants. Okra blooms only last one day after which they shrivel only to be replaced by the edible seed pod. The variety of my plants is called "Burgundy". The main stem, leaves and fruit have a unique burgundy coloration. Taste is excellent but I only planted two plants which don't produce enough seed pods quickly enough for a meal. Next fall I will plant more. Enjoy.

Very nicely shot set. For a plant that IMO tastes so bad it sure has pretty flowers.

Thanks, Jack. Okra can be pretty good if sliced, breaded in cornmeal and fried.
