Okra

Abelmoschus esculentus Moench

Description:

This variety was growing in the Edible Gardens outside the greenhouses. It was an interesting color. The steps were also red. Okra is a "southern" food favorite, especially fried. Well, in the south, we fry and eat just about anything.

Habitat:

Night visit to the Gardens. Atlanta Botanical Gardens, Atlanta, GA outside area

I never had pickled okra, just fried. It's delicious. Of course, I like fried pickles too.
