Testudinaria elephantipes

     
Well, the little devils sprout, send up one or two little leaves that look 
vaguely like some weedy form of viola then loose the leaves and go dormant for 
six months or so, or else as long as it takes me to forget what was planted in 
the apparently empty pot.

Greetings from Sweden...very far away from the Mediterranean!
     
Now I must add my two cents worth here....Testudinaria elephantipes....a 
pretty disappointing caudex?!?
     
Yes, it does belong in the 'yam' family...Dioscoreaceae....but what do you 
find disappointing about it? As a caud lover, I must leap to its defence! 
;-))))
What's wrong with a tuberculed warty caudex?
     
     
Wonders Ingrid in Sweden wose Dioscorea elephantipes is small but nice! But 
there are other beauties in the 'Family'!
