Dioscorea is a huge genus.

Could it be you are you speaking of a species of Ipomoea?

What did the flowers look like?

Hi:
I was at somebody's house once and they had a big sprawling plant with
heart
shaped leaves. They said that they grew it by putting a relative of the
yam
family into the ground and planting it. Apparently you could also plant a
yam and grow a different plant as well.

Does anyone know what this plant is?

Thanks,
Blair
