Y is for Yam Daisy, which has many Aboriginal names, especially Murnong (Woiwurrung/Wurundjeri), Milaan (Gamilaraay), and Mlarng (Gunaikurnai). The Murnong is such an important plant it is part of traditional dreaming stories and continues to be a recurring motif in works of Aboriginal contemporary art.
This 20 x 20 mini acrylic painting is part of an A-Z series showing the diversity and beauty of Australian flora. I grew up in Aotearoa New Zealand, and the project was an exercise in learning and appreciating Aboriginal plant lore, and learning more about Australian plant species in my adopted home.
