The first person to correctly identify the crop in this photo wins a fun-sized shipment of strange/rare/cool perennial edibles from Florida Food Forests!
(If you’ve toured my farm/nursery before… don’t answer. I already gave you cool plants!)
Go!
UPDATE: Jorge Duncan wins with his comment at 5:31PM. Thanks for playing. I’ll post another pop quiz before too long. (I just need to find something sufficiently weird.)

Daylily corms??? like, those little Stella d'Oro ones? (my second guess is they're mutant Junior Mints!)
Nice try – no dice.
Jr. Mints don't grow here. I tried.
Water chestnuts
You nailed it! E-mail me your address… you're getting a care package. ;)
I also got an e-mail from my friend Louise… she guessed "a pile of the ugly edible air potato vines."
No cigar!
Oh man! I coulda won… *kicks imaginary stone*
How are you going to store all of those? Do you store them over the winter and plant in Spring? Would you consider selling a few?
I'll post on how I keep them in a few days… and yes, I'd sell a few. I'm thinking I'll have to offer them soon. It took me a long time to find mine initially.
