I had apios volunteering at my place in NC. It's a great plant! A 
diminutive vine, it climbs up neighbors without causing them any 
difficulty. The flowers are GORGEOUS!! And the beans are quite tasty, 
maybe most like lentils. I never got around to digging the tubers, but I 
think I read that you can prepare them like potatoes. There's some good 
info here: http://www.pfaf.org/leaflets/groundnt.php and I've posted a 
not very good picture of it on the frappr site at 
http://www.frappr.com/permaculture/photos/0.
