Remarks:
Is there a difference between bulbifera and batata? If so what. Are the air potatoes edible? I have some good sized ones this year. I also have another dioscorea, I think, grows wild in the field and has seed pods similar to the common milkweed but without the warts. The seeds inside have the same kind of silky parachute.email me at shumphreys@arcola-il.com
