Lunaria annua

In all honesty, I adore #honesty #in all it's stages. Bright green #scallopedleaves #purple and #pink flowers that close into #circular darkening green #seedpods that dry on the plant until at it's barest skeletal #translucent form. #lifecycle #wildweeds #growingwild #favorite #noweygardens

And it's so #veiny #free-tagging-friday

Wild #honesty #lunaria-annua at the end of it's lifecycle #autumngarden #noweygardens

High winds shook the pods free and let the delicate #silverdollar branches glimmer and shine! #annualhonesty #lunaria-annua #lunaria #autumnfavorites #noweygardens

Bright #pinkflowers of #lunaria-annua #honesty are just the beginning of their season-long transformation. #favoriteweed #noweygardens

Very beautiful! 🙂👍

Discovered some #seed-germination among those saved from last fall #annualhonesty #silverdollar #seeds #noweygardens

Lunaria Annua #honesty at its greenest - stem, leaves, pods and seeds. I've been told they are #edibleweed at this stage.now. Preparation and recipe suggestions anyone? #green #lunaria-annua #silverdollar

Thanks for the articles @cyndi

I am following the season long growth and transformation of the beautiful #honesty plant. After the attractive purple petals close they become the seed pods recognized as #silverdollar #noweygardens #lunaria

I love how this plant grows and transforms all year long. Some call it a #weed but I enjoy #honesty #lunaria-annua #moneyplant #noweygardens

Name is quiet honestly interesting. Silver Dollar is a different plant

@gauravsh6 i have found many names for this plant

The transluscent inner pods #macro 📷are the #lastdays of these #prettyweeds #silverdollarplant #noweygardens

The #annualhonesty sheds its #seedsandpods #seedpropagation

I had money plants where I use to live is this the same (looks like it) or is it diff.?

@anngasieski ?? Hard for me to know! Take a look at my previous pics (swipe right on the picture) to see it growing big & green, then with purple flowers. Might be!

Annual final show for #honesty The outer layers of the seed pod fall away (or easily taken off) to reveal the transparent coins of this #moneytree #favoriteweed #annualhonesty #NoWeyMAGardens

The colors are vibrant on this #moneyplant

Oh, this is really beautiful. Want!

I love the many stages of this plant! Growing tall and #pink it begins to form the characteristic seed pods later that turn and dry silvery white. #honesty #lunaria #moneyplant

The #pink blossoms of #honesty are lovely!

Discovered a large wild crop of #honesty by my friend's house on Cape Cod. Followed by an hour of fun with kids plucking the outside pods off to reveal the beautiful silver dollars

I enjoy watching this plant self-seed, grow and transform all season long.

Most of my money plants are nearly done for the season

Uprooted while growing Pods not separated yet

#honesty #lunaria #seeds

The outter pods dry and are gently removed leaving it delicately transluscent.

I love them! Good in floral arrangements. #selfseeds #honesty #lunaria #macro

These silver dollar/money plants grow wild all around my yard.
