Air Potato

Dioscorea bulbifera

Description:

Fast growing vines that make potato-like growths that are essentially seeds for it. They can also re-sprout from their roots.

Habitat:

Every F'ing where. My mother (who should have known better) introduced these into her yard starting in just 2 pots on the posts at the end of her driveway. Now they are everywhere.

Notes:

heh.. I did not know that these plants are used to create steroids
