A good crop of tumeric (More vermillion) this year. Seems to like the extra rain we had.
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a perennial plant of the ginger family. It is quite attractive during the year but dies off in winter ready to be harvested. I started my crop from a piece of root (rhizome) we bought in Byron Bay. I use it fresh in curries now but dried and ground up for the rest of the year.

I seem to remember you getting me to draw with tumeric a while back as well, Jack!
Looks like a big,juicy plate of witchety grubs!!!
Yes we did use tumeric for smudging drawings in an interesting way but unfortunately the yellow fades in uv. Seems to last inside a diary out of the sun. Jack
