Okra is a member of the mallow or Malvaceae family along with cotton and hollyhocks. Although once considered part of the lily family, chives are now a member of the Amaryllidaceae family along with other alliums. Alliums were split apart from the Liliaceae in the APG III Classification system. Asparagus has also been split off of the lily family and is now in Asparagaceae.

Suggest accepting composite for the family of the lettuce. Also suggest accepting mold for the fungus or mildew which we try to prevent by watering early. Thanks for a fun quiz.
