It is crazy. I knew it had to be one of those 'freak of nature' occurrences, so I took a picture of it, I'm sure it will never happen again. I'm was just tickled it happened once....lol.

It looks like an infant! When I saw the thumbnail size pic I knew it was a tuber but it looked like you had your hand cupping the feet and knees of a newborn! Yikes. Even the umbilicus...

I didn't eat it Mcmneil, these are an ornamental variety grown mostly for their fancy leaves, they are related to the regular garden variety.They are said to be edible, but generally have poor taste, some are even bitter. So this big boy, is going back in the ground in May, to vine out again, with it's beautiful chartreuse foliage.
