Common honesty is an old-fashioned dual-purpose plant, grown partly for its fragrant bright flowers in spring and early summer, but also for its unique seed-heads, oval and translucent, gleaming with an eerie silver light and coveted by dried-flower arrangers.


So says the internet.  I like to collect it in the autumn and peel the seeds from the seedheads, so nice to use in flower arrangements.  In my picture you can see that the seeds have formed but it is not yet time to peel them.
