Gorgeous Vegetables





I love the beautiful flower of this Burgundy Okra. And the burgundy stems and burgundy okras are striking. Really unique and decorative. When it gets really hot in Texas nothing will grow in the vegetable garden, nothing will set fruit. Nothing except okra. Burgundy okra is so pretty. Plant it and enjoy this great plant.
The photos above are Hyacinth Bean vine. This vine is started from seed and will grow 8 feet very quickly. The vine is covered with these wonderful purple flowers followed by true purple bean pods. The beans are edible and beautiful in their own right. They are very dark purple beans with a white spot.
