Prickly, perhaps, though.


Birmingham Botanical Gardens. Again.
(Come on people. I think I walked about three miles, big chunks of it uphill.)



I’m telling you, this was the fourth visit to this place, and I discovered yet even more previously hidden nooks and crannies.
Today’s revelation: Did you know that okra plants are enormous? As in about seven feet tall?
And no, okra plants are not a featured exhibit at an Alabama botanical garden. They’re in the vegetable area. Right next to the pole beans. Kidding. They’re two plots over from the pole beans.
