Okra, also known as ladies' fingers or ochro, is a flowering plant in the mallow family. It is valued for its edible green seed pods. This variety was actually a gift from a bird that dropped the seed in my garden 4 years ago. Since then, I’ve simply been scattering the seeds around the yard and letting them do their own thing. They’re one of my favorite flowers. The pollinators also love them. Did you know that okra is related to hibiscus and cotton? It is among the most heat- and drought-tolerant vegetable species in the world and will tolerate soils with heavy clay and intermittent moisture. Pods are cooked, pickled, eaten raw, or included in salads. Okra may be used in developing countries to mitigate malnutrition and alleviate food insecurity. #growninhaiti #okra #lasdyfingers #flower #mallow #haiti #ayiti #foodforest #donothingmethod #nogmos #nopesticides #noherbicides #foodsecurity #organic #droughttolerant https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp-eNyTjXwH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=o8f2mqmhri8v

When I was in Long Beach last Saturday this pretty silver/gray leaved plant with the intense azure blue small flowers caught my eye. It looks like a drought and heat tolerant plant to me and for that reason and, of course, for its obvious beauty I would love to grow it in my own garden. Any guess what the name of this plant is? For some reason I am really in autumn mood this year and enjoy decorating the house for fall. White small pumpkins have moved in and I found some nice fall decor items yesterday. Our temperatures are not there yet, though. They are forecasted to hover in the upper 80ties F (around 30 C) for the next ten days. But the heat sets in a little later in the day and also ceases earlier in the evening, so a little bit more gardening can be done and I am so thankful for this. I planted a new white rose and deadheaded the established roses quite a bit. I also fertilized parts of the garden again and did some autumn tidying up. I hope to show you the garden soon either on my feed or in my stories. What are you up to in your garden in the moment? #silverleavedplant #silver #gray #grayplant #silverplants #azure #azureblueflowers #azureblue #droughttolerant #heattolerant #droughttolerantplants #heattolerantplants #organicgardendreams #longbeach #california #southerncalifornia #pretty #prettyplants (at Long Beach, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn86FtgFpLV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=shnfa5kmm64o
