This dreaming tells about bush yams or potatoes. the trees are green all year round. When the flower are on the tree the women know that the potatoes are ready to dig for. The women look for long, thin cracks along the ground, made from the vines of the potato plant. The women gather them in wooden dishes, called parraja in Warlpiri. Bush potatoes are cooked on the coals and have a sweet taste.
