        A potato is not a flowering plant it’s a tuba, such as an onion. Totally different thing entirely to a bit of wood attached to a tree.

          And potato is a tuber but an onion is not. Both are flowering plants. So is ginger.

          Ginger has nothing to do with ‘a bit of wood attached to a tree’ which is exactly my point.

          Potato plants absolutely have flowers. Have you ever grown one? Be careful with the potato flowers and fruits. They are poisonous nightshade.
