Cotton and Okra. Kissing Cousins. - grace grits and gardening

Did you know cotton and okra are cousins? The plants are botanically related from the same scientific family Malvaceae. The veined leaf shapes are very similar with a reddish purple spot at the base of each petal. The blooms are similar too. The final product! One fills our bellies, the other covers our bellies. I love both!
