Plant introduction Hana Okra

Also known as Troroaoi. It was named because the mucus contained in the root resembles a trolo. Root mucus was used as glue when making Japanese paper paper, and has been cultivated for a long time. Also, unlike the vegetable "okra", "flower okra" is edible with flowers. The flowers have slime like the okra, and they can be eaten deliciously by dressing or soy sauce. The flowering season is from July to August. It is a flower for a day, blooms in the morning and seeps in the evening. The diameter of the flower is large, about 30 centimeters. Because it blooms one after another, you can enjoy the flowers for about a month. In Environmental Activity Support Center, you can see it in the flowerbed near the training hall.
