Ground nut

Apios americana said to be host plant for cats of the silver spotted skipper. None in sight so far.

Interesting blooms.

paige-
I love this plant...it's so pretty! I had also heard that it was good for nectar!

oh that is beautiful. Would you please save me some seed if it makes any??

Mine's still in a pot in the greenhouse so I not close enough to see if it's a good plant to attrack birds,butterflies or other. I hope to get it planted this fall..

If I get seeds I'll be happy to share.

I have that vine, but it never came up this year...your post reminded me of it, so I dug around...there are little "potatoes" still in the ground, but no top growth...

I've actually had that happen with several of my heat loving/tuberous vines...guess it is all that rain, and cooler temps keeping them dormant...

Is yours in Full, full hot baking sun?...

I kinda missed seeing mine bloom this year. Thanks for posting pics of yours.

mine's been in a hot greenhouse during all this blasted triple digit temps. Apparently it likes it.
