October 14, 2011---okra in an inkwell

The sun has finally come out and the okra is taking advantage of it. Big yellow blooms on some plants, smaller pinkish-white ones on others. And beautiful red buds and stems on some plants. I think I must have planted two kinds of red okra, because although both have reddish pods, only one has the red stems and buds. All are beautiful in arrangements. This little bloom and bud were leftover from some larger arrangements I did this morning.
