Remember that okra cross pollinates very easily. Growing different varieties of okra in the garden works fine if you're not saving seeds. Bees/wasps - especially Bumble Bees love okra flowers. They will cross pollinate several varieties of okra in a day easily.
Awesome. Thanks! I hope they do cross, though! Hybrids can be extra productive. I'm encouraging natural crosses with most of my plants, with the exception of a few things I want to breed true (like Aswad eggplant, because it's awesome). That way I can breed new varieties that can call my town home. I don't just want them to cross once, though, but over and over again (ideally every year, but if not, that's fine).
