 Welcome to the August 2016 Ethnobotanical Garden Picture of the Month Nominations thread.  In this thread you can nominate the best pictures posted in the Ethnobotanical Garden and other forums during the month of August. At the end of August all nominations go into a poll and we can vote on which should be the Picture of the Month. Anyone can nominate a picture. Six contest rules: 1. Original botanical-related pictures only. 2. Originally posted during August only. 3. No Self-nominations allowed. 4. No naked humans are to be in the shot, keep it clean! 5. Pictures taken by original poster. 6. Original poster can veto any of their nominated pics. ( me!) Each nomination should include:- A thumbnail linking to a larger version of the picture.
- A brief description.
- The name of the picture's owner.
- A link to the thread in which the picture was originally posted.

Yeah man,they grow all over the place wild here.
I dug up a small plants,and brought it home.
It hasn't flowered yet.
Here is it's range,it grows wild in Texas too.
Look for it in waste places,or sites with disturbed soil,and along side produce fields.
The fruits are delicious man,kinda similar to a pomegranate int he way that it''s just a bunch of seeds,and you suck off the sweet jelly coating.
That didn't sound quite right

Live and learn: I didn't know what okra means in english (it's "quiabo" in portuguese) and I had never seen it in flower.
