The elusive okra blossom that I’ve been seeking since the okra plants started producing. Somehow I always missed the blossoms, which only last a day, not even a day, just the morning.

I’m waiting for my okra plants to blossom too! How old are your plants?
Hi Nate. I purchased these plants in mid June, and they were about 10 inches tall. So best guess is they were seeded sometime in April?
I love okra !! Just today I harvested (on a friend’s farm) 10 gallons…. the flowers are so beautiful, it makes me wonder how anyone could not love this veggie.
Holy okra, 10 gallons! You are going to busy for a while.
Ha! Fear not, it’s going to his CSA subscribers and farmers’ market customers.
They look so much like the Hibiscus flower. Beautiful. So glad you were able to catch one.
