I just adore this plant
Thought you all might appreciate a follow-up now that a bunch of leaves have come in. Here's hoping they remain for at least 6 months, that last dormancy took forever!
The leaves are definitely the show-stopper, but the flowers are pretty too :)

The plant is a Dioscorea elephantipes. Been raising this cute little one since he was a seed in July 2023 :)
My friend and I like to swap cuttings, I made out like a bandit this time :P
I only had about 5 cuttings for her this time, going to have to step up my game! (I'm running out of plants she doesn't already have ๐ฐ)
It's in a 2" pot for reference. Super cute and compact :)
After treating for spider mites when I first got it (May of this year) the leaves weren't doing so hot. The new leaf is beautiful though!
Also already has a baby that popped up last month :)
She started as such a little pup and now her leaves are bigger than my hand
I got her about 2 years ago.
