Okra Flowering

Okra is not the prettiest plant in the world. It grows tall and gangly, with rough pods for fruit. But oh, the flowers! They are good enough to make up for the rest of the plant. I'm growing a red variety of okra, so the plants are a bit decorative with their red stems and pods and green leaves with red veins. The flowers open during the day, so I generally do not get to see them. I'm glad the bees (see one down in there?) do.
