MG, your yam's leaves look very familiar to me!
I grew a type of yam before when we were still living in Singapore, it need around 5 to 6 months to form tuber but the tuber can grow easily over 2kg if grown in big pots.
Unfortunately I don't know what it's latin name, but this yam has flesh range from white purplish to deep purple (the peel is dark) and when peeled, it produce slimy extrac which can irritate skin (cause itchy skin). The leaves range from green with purple vein to totally red purplish.
It taste great after steamed or cooked with some coconut milk and it's purple colour stay after cooked!
Frank, does this Yam rings any bell to you ?
