Rita, Hope this is not too late. I've seen dried stalks with okra pods for sale in fall to use with dried grass seedheads like Pampas grass. The okra usually is dark and light brown striped...not sure what variety. I've also seen the dried okra pods used in wreaths.

I've not seen the fresh pods for sale but I'd buy it to add to an big arrangement of perhaps striped Canna or burgundy Ti leaves. I'd prefer the undyed, though. Good luck. josh

When I googled to see the pods...found some info on pricing too...josh

Josh,

Thankyou for answering and yes it's to late for most of my crop. I decided to cut them off and plow them out. They were taking up too much space for the amount of money I was making on them. I still have one section left and I will try drying like you said. Thankyou for the info.

Rita
