Okra / ladyfinger producing weird leaves

[Viral]

My okra (ladyfinger) sapling is growing leaves like that of rowan. I planted seeds about 2 weeks ago and all of them are growing normal except one that I mentioned above. Can you tell why is this happening?

Greetings, welcome to the Forums.

Please post photos of your plants including close-up shots of the unusual leaves.

Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) in the Mallow Family (Malvaceae) is known for having variably shaped leaves.

By Rowan, you mean a species of Sorbus, in the Rose family (Rosaceae)? Rowan leaves are usually pinnately compound.

Rowan (Sorbus spp.), also known as Mountain-ash, are deciduous trees or shrubs, with various species native to North America, Greenland, Iceland, the British Isles, Europe, Asia, and Japan.

This pinnately compound leaf remains open until strong sunlight and then closes.

I’m not sure what it may be, but that definitely doesn’t look like an Okra seedling to me! Is there a possibility wild seeds spread in the wind?

Yes, but unlikely...
