I just moved to florida (orlando area) and there is a vine growing out back
that is growing a small potatoe looking bulbs. the leafs get about as big
as my hand and the bulbs it creates get a bit bigger than a golf ball .
attached are pictures

The photos did not come in on my newsreader, but it sounds as if you
may have Dioscorea bulbifera---sometimes called "Air Potato."
