We can see a beautiful natural scene, which is basically part of an okra plant. The light yellow or cream colored okra flower blooming among the green leaves is a unique creation of nature. The dark purple or maroon colored center point right in the middle of this flower has increased its beauty many times over. Small raw okra or karli are seen growing right below the flower, which is an ever-familiar form of our rural agricultural life.

Usually we know okra only as a common vegetable, but its flowers can be so spectacular. Okra belongs to the Malvaceae family, due to which its flowers are very similar to the cotton flower. Okra is a very popular and nutritious vegetable in our daily diet. It contains a lot of fiber, vitamin-C, vitamin-K and folic acid, which helps to increase the body's immunity and improve the digestive process. In addition, its anti-oxidant properties keep the skin and hair healthy.

In addition to being eaten as a vegetable, planting this plant in the yard or on the roof garden not only meets the nutritional needs of the family, but also makes the surrounding environment pleasant with its beautiful flowers. This simple beauty of nature brings peace of mind to our mechanical lives.
