What I thought was a snake curled up in the compound happened to be the yam flower that had risen from the ground.
This normally never happens. New plants crop up when the time comes. So you can imagine my fear of seeing what I saw, ofcourse from a distance.
It was not moving. I plucked courage and proceeded towards it before alerting others around. Preiti was not on the scene and even if she was she would have known that it was just a flower Animals are sometimes smarter.

Sometimes if the yam is kept in storage a flower comes out.
