Potatoes are doing their best to be ornamental in the front garden. (aussie.zone)

I've converted my front yard to be mostly edible plants, I think they are often underrated in how ornamental they can be.

I don't think I've seen a potato flowering before. Now that I think about it, that's strange. If we harvest after the top dues back, I should get to see flowers.

Your crop looks fabulous!

These seem to have more flowers than I normally get - I assume they are showing off because they know they are visible to people walking by. Who knew potatoes were so vain?
