The sweet potatoes grow underground like regular potatoes.  The above ground parts, for most varieties, grow as vines.  The leaves are edible, too.
Merry Christmas

I always enjoy Esperanza flowers. I’ve planted them before with mixed success. Not sure what got into this one. I don’t remember ever having one get over about 4’ tall.
Are we having fun yet?

It looks to be getting its fair share of sunlight and that might account for its robust growth and blooms.  Also the roots of that plant must have liked where you placed it as it is important for it to develop a good root system.  In any event, you've got a fascinating flowering plant there, Gravity.

I believe that these are dahlia flowers and somewhat unusual ones at that.

Those look like some kind of space alien.
