"Oh, this flower is so strange." Guo Ningwan said happily as if she had discovered a new world.
Guo Ningwan picked up a small flower and put it close to her nose to smell it, wanting to see if it was fragrant.
From the angle where Guo Jianping was standing, it looked like Guo Ningwan wanted to eat the flower.
Guo Jianping walked over quickly, knocked the flowers out of her hand, and said loudly, "You kid, why do you put everything in your mouth?"
"I don't want to eat it, I just want to smell the fragrance of the flower." Guo Ningwan touched her hand that was hurt by the beating and said with a pout.
Seeing his little daughter looking aggrieved, Guo Jianping coaxed her softly.
He lowered his head to look at the flowers on the ground and explained, "These are wild yam flowers."
As he said that, he bent down, picked up the flowers and returned them to Guo Ningwan.
Wild yam is a twining herbaceous vine of the genus Dioscorea in the Dioscoreaceae family.
The tuber is long cylindrical, growing vertically, and can reach more than 1 meter in length. The cross section is white when dry, the stem is purple-red, and the leaves are hairless and single, ovate-triangular to broadly ovate.
Dioecious, the outer tepals of male flowers are broadly ovate, the female inflorescence is a spike inflorescence, growing in the leaf axils, and the bracts and flowers have purple-brown spots.
The capsule is triangular-oblate or triangular-round, with white powder on the outside; the seeds are surrounded by membranous wings.
"Wild yam? Can it be eaten?" Guo Ningwan asked doubtfully.

"It's delicious. Let's dig it up now." Guo Ningwan said.
Guo Jianping: "We can't dig it up yet. Let it grow a little longer. We'll make a mark here first. After a while, you can bring Grandpa back to dig it up."
Yams are usually dug after the Frost Descent.
Because the yam stops growing after the frost, the sugar in the body begins to transform, and the yam becomes sweeter and more powdery.
"Okay." Guo Ningwan said reluctantly.
