Ruby is telling the story of the Kaliny-kalinypa or Desert Grevillea flower which is a favorite bush food of the Anangu (people) Pitjantjatjara. The flowers of the Kaliny-kalinyp are treated the same way as the Ultukunpa or Honey Grevillea flower. The flowers are either picked and placed in a billycan of water to create 'honeywater' (cordial) or sucked for their sweet honey dew. More often than not the Anangu move from flower to flower bending to suck the nectar rather than picking it.
