Okra blossoms 2020-09-11 - Adair County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. I first got to know Okra as a deep fried side in restaurants. Nice. After giving up deep fried, I discovered Okra in grilled form. Nicer. This summer I've discovered the pretty blossoms on the plant and have been enjoying the double benefit. If I next discover Okra blossoms might also edible, that would be amazing, however, that's another story. - LW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
