Printed on 100% linen, this design by Ena Fly depicts the Yultukunpa - honey grevillea, known locally as bush lolly - at Kungkayunti (Brown's Bore). The sweet flowers of the Kalinkalinpa bloom soon after the rain in the sandhills. Ena learned this story from her mother Marlee Napurrula, who passed down the right to paint it to her.
Ena was born at Haasts Bluff creek bed in 1957. Both her parents, Marlee Napurrula and Long Tom Tjapanangka, began painting at Ikuntji Women's Centre in 1993 and became highly acclaimed artists. Ena developed her first fabric design in 2022.
