That was a very cool interview. Sorry if you has said something else that I missed after the brief conversation we had in the chat. I was listening the whole time but I had begun butchering a pig. Really cool that you can eat the pentaphylla bulbils. Hadn’t even known that. Next season I will try some. Didn’t get a great growing year with the yams other than alata. I’m embarrassed to say that the bulbifera I had gotten from you didn’t do well. All but one of the plants rotted out at the base during the growing season and the one survivor wasn’t super vigorous. Must have over watered them. Some areas of my yard has very thick not well draining soil. I was gonna ask to trade you again at some point. Just hadn’t gotten around to emailing you yet.
Wish I still had all the different yams I once did. Tried to get ahold of the guy I had gotten them from but he isn’t active on that forum anymore it seems. I once had the Saigon purple bulbifera, Hawaiian, CV-1&2 bulbifera, trifida, rotundata, japonica, dodecaneura(beautiful foliage on that one), and possibly another one or two. I’ll keep trying to contact him periodically. Was that Leren that you picked up at A Natural Farm? Once had that too but lost it eventually.
