Yes, Callirhoe has cream-colored tap roots. The top of the roots shown in bonitin's link are on older plants. Younger plants' roots look more like cream carrots. I can't find a photo of Callirhoe involucrata roots at the moment, but the roots are similar to Callirhoe bushii which can be seen here, https://www.prairiemoon.com/im...
Omggggggggg I've been researching and researching forever! WOW. That's it! Callirhoe involucrata. Thank you thank you thank you. I actually posted on another garden forum and no one could figure it out lol. So they are edible!? Now I can actually research about them.
Yes these are winecup..I collect the seeds and scatter them in wild areas. They also work well in a hanging basket as a spiller. Very drought tolerant!!
Well it's too bad they don't have more information about the root. I'm surprised it's not more popular because it looks just like a carrot/parsnip. My friend wants to go pick and cook some lol. This is my first year growing carrots so if those roots can grow pretty well then I'm hoping my carrots with do well.
