Okra plant

I came across this Red Burgundy Okra whilst I was in Japan during October 2009. Visited most of the wet markets in Singapore but have not seen one like this. Have you ?

Red Burgundy Okra
Okra is often known as lady's fingers outside of the United States. In Japan it is known as Okura (オクラ).

It's scientific name is "Abelmoschus esculentus" and also "Hibiscus esculentus". Other interesting okra varieties (cultivars) include the following:

• Star of David – This variety grows pods that have a very unique shape and strong flavor from okra plants reaching up to seven feet.
• Alabama Red - Also known as the dwarf variety, produces unusual fat red pods.
• Cow Horn – This giant okra variety can grow up to eight feet tall with slender pods reaching ten inches in length without becoming woody.
• Louisiana Short – A prolific producer of tasty and extremely plump six-inch pods.
• Burmese Okra – An early yielder of green pods.
• Jade – High yields of early maturing dark green okra pods on four foot tall plants.
• Emerald – Unique smooth-round pods.
