when i dug for colour.....

this the country

when big storm came over

big wind and cool breath

over landscape

this the secret orange underground caverns of colour tree

hard to find in the matrix of small saplings

looks like sandpaper fig

but isn't

mashed red root muddy

likes to grow and interweave through rocks and sand

blood red bulb

makes brown brave colours

coelospermum reticulatum

haemadorum coccineum


these lovely red flowers make lovely berries on them in january

big wet rain makes them fat

then they burst with the most bold bright purple colour

pity

i am travelling to miss the majik purple juice
