Leanne Pula Teece – Arrweneng (bush passion flower)

Wild passionfruit – passion flower, grows on our country Antarrengenye (unda ra ninya).

Arrweneng (bush passion flower) comes after the rain on our land. Passion flower is a beautiful purple flower; it grows on a tree. Once the tree flowers, it grows a fruit, we gather these once the fruit is ripe. We mash the berries in our hand and the sugars comes out, we eat it and it is sweet and delicious like honey
