In my (wild edible plants) page I ‘m adding a few Apios Americana flower photos as these flowers are rather pleasant to the eye as well as being one of our better wild tuber plants.
This was an important staple food in some parts of North America long ago.
Easy to notice this plant when the flowers are on these vines though in the fall I usually become aware of their presence by seeing groundnut tubers dangling from washed out river banks, this far north I have never noticed seed pods developing on this plant.
Here if you click on the photo you will see the Apios americana vines climbing over these spent Daylily flower stocks with a bed of Jerusalem Artichoke in the background, so we have 3 good tuber plants together in this one. ciao
