The botanical name of Okra is Abelmoschus esculentus and the plant is grown for its edible seed pods. Okra plant is also used as an annual landscape plant for its attractive flowers. The okra plant, which is a perennial plant in the dry tropical regions where it is native, has an upright, branching growth habit. Okra gets big; the adult plant can reach about six to eight feet in height. The flowers of the plant are yellow or white, often with purplish centers. What is actually harvested as the okra fruit are the elongated seed pods that appear after the flowers bloom. The Okra seed pods are up to seven inches long, containing white seeds that fill a pentagon-shaped chambered structure.
