Wow this one won’t be easy. It’s a very blurry photo! It even seems like it’s a picture taken of a screen. Were you watching a TV show? Where was it shot or made? That would help a lot.
If you have other pictures, try to add them to this discussion, the more the better.
Loving the season!

To check and make sure, it would help to dig out the root: if I’m right, it should be a roundish tuber (it’s part of the yam family). Not sure if edible though.

September 3, 2022 at 3:33 pm ReplyHi, Thanks for the feedback. Yes, it’s a photo from my friends phone. She was asking if I knew what it was. I said we need a few pics, especially of the leaves and the full plant.She said the lighter coloured parts are pods more like broad bean type.  All I know about the garden she helps in, is that it was full of Persian plants!
