Here’s my Murnong ( yam daisy). The do go wild in the bush remnants around here but this one grew from seed collected by volunteers locally( with permission). @anntics.bsky.social
Night yellow daisy like flower-looks like a dandelion but has the thin scrappy leaves of Murnong not the broad flat rosette of the introduced weed.

Murnong got my vote! Although I'd have voted for the kangaroo paw if I could.

Rowdy Rebel yesterday posted (Twitter) about the "Yam Daisy" or Murnong, a wild edible I had forgotten. The flower below is NOT Murnong but something in my yard.
By all means if you do find Murnong growing (see article) please preserve them.

Last botanical from the art gallery of NSW Sydney Australia: Murnong daisies being harvested by an Aboriginal woman allude to food histories that many have forgotten. 🌱

i'm watching a video on Aboriginal bush tucker and i started crying about a plant (murnong) that was thought to be extinct (because of colonial sheep farming) but was then found again and has been successfully cultivated.

For the last day of summer in Australia, I thought I would share some info on the seven seasons of the Kulin Nation in my region. I have also included photos of the important yam daisy - "Murnong".

More info on the seasons can be found here:

Today is the last day of summer here in Australia! Passed on through generations, knowledge about when to collect or hunt for food, when to prepare for the cold or rain, to trap eels for food and trade, or to collect emu eggs before the chicks are formed, is intricately tied to knowing about and feeling, country, place and ultimately connection to it. SEASONAL CALENDARS FOR THE MELBOURNE AREA Compiled by Dr. Beth Gott of the School of Biological Sciences, Monash University. Late Summer, February - Mid March. After the dry hot summer, the Autumn rains arrived, and the days became cooler. People started burning those parts of the land where the scrub or tussock grass had become too dense during the summer, but they were advised by their elders where and when to burn, taking the weather into account so that the fires did not spread too far. It was important to clear the undergrowth and provide fertilising ash so that the small tuberous food plants could grow well after the rains came in March. Burning also made it easier to catch animals. Plants which had suffered from lack of water during the summer were now able to renew growth. DJAAK, Wattle gum wattle gum, was plentiful, and in the middle of this month the WARRAK Banksia or Honeysuckle, Long-leaf Box and Silver-leaf Stringybark came into blossom, providing sweet nectar, and attracting birds. March has been called the Eel Season, Eel because the female Short-finned eels were moving down the streams to the sea; the male eels had been leaving in smaller numbers during the spring and summer. These were an important food, and among the vegetables there were the starchy roots of the water plants, which began to die down after their summer growth. Some late summer fruits such as mistletoe berries were also available. Birds started to flock before heading north for the winter, to be replaced by other birds which will soon start to arrive from Tasmania.

Just came from the Murnong gathering on the Merri creek, celebrating Wurundjeri culture and the revival of Murnong aka yam daisy.

It was a beautiful day and special to be in a community space that can hold all the hard feelings about the world right now.

The kind of thing we need more of.

Murnong grows in most of East Australia is it hasn't been wiped out by grazing.

On my 2023 visit to Australia, my brother and I went searching in a nature reserve for the rare Murnong plant. We didn’t find any but we emerged in this clearing to this magnificent tree.

I had to Google that one. Yes it's related to the Murnong bush yam; at least in the same tribe. There's also a bush yam that's a true yam, unrelated. tuckerbush.com.au/murnong-yam-...
