11-Mayilema

Mayilema is the name for speargrass.  The flowering of speargrass signifies the start of Biyinba, the goose egg collection on the floodplains. As the Speargrass heads turn brown the eggs hatch, marking the end of the goose egg season.   Knock-em down storms knock the Speargrass over and mark the end of the wet season.
