Nesa,
It most probably is the weather that has caused your blooms to fall. I
believe the flowers have to be insect pollinated to set fruit and when it's
raining, few insects fly. Thus, your flowers probably never got pollinated
and just aborted.

Subject: Okra buds falling off
Hi, I have a prob with my okra that's on the ground.i have 3 plants and they
all produced buds very early but the buds started falling off before they
could reach a size big enough to bloom.We have been having lots of rain and
very little sun here in Singapore.Is that the cause or are they deficient in
something?I planted them in May.Otherwise the plants look healthy.Please
help!
