We see many flowers on trees and we get food from some of these. When we are in the bush and we see a honey bee
eating from flowers, then we know it is making honey. Some trees, when we see them flowering, tell us that kangaroos
are fattening up, such as when the yellow kapok tree flowers.We see many trees flowering, and lots of birds and
insects eat their nectar.
When women see the water lilies in flower they say “ok, the stalk and roots are ready for eating."
