Isn't that okra? See this link: http://www.ibiblio.org/pfaf/cgi-bin/arr_html?Abelmoschus+esculentus

Yes your all right, but I think they are a beautiful flowers even though they are a vegetable.(okra) It is such a beautiful flower that I couldn't help but show it...just did it in the wrong place.

Ladies' Finger? A couple of fruits are seen in the background. One of my favourite vegetables!

Windsurffer, have you ever seen the red okra in bloom? Talk about gorgeous! That bright yellow bloom against the maroon foliage is incredible!

Yes I had it last year(red okra) but didn't like the taste or texture to much...the flower was lovely.

Yeah, I agree. The eating quality isn't near as good. But they sure look pretty planted behind some Powis Castle Artemesia!
