Which One ?

These flowers all belong to the same family - sort of like far distant cousins.

All of these blossoms look very much alike - but can you guess which one produces a favorite in the garden? Or at least in our garden here in Oklahoma. Not all parts of the country has the proper growing season for it.

If your guess was picture number 2 - then you were correct.

ANSWER - Okra

The okra in our garden is still producing an abundant amount. We normally pick it every other day. I have put lots in the deep freeze and plan on putting more in there. However, like all our garden produce we keep about 10 percent and give away the rest.

If you are close by - holler - and we will give you the next picking.

Oh, in case you are wondering about the other flowers - Rose of Sharon - single and double blossoms.

I linked to you with a Question Meme. If you have the time to participate I would love hearing all about you. If not, please don't feel obligated. Just wanted you to know that I was thinking of you. By the way, I am not picking okra this morning. It is raining. Yay!
