Silver Dollar Plant

Still practicing with the tripod here's a50mm shot of a silver dollar plant's coins! Enjoy:)

The silver dollar plant (Lunaria annua)-sometimes referred to as the honesty or money plant is gorgeous in bloom with its purple or white flowers, simply unbelievable as the papery silver dollar-like seed pods develop, and if this is not enough bringing the stems in and peeling the dried layers off the thin wafer-like pods as they dry will result in a shiny, pearl colored ?silver dollars? that will be a wonderful everlasting additions to any dried arrangement-winter or otherwise.

These plants are biennial, blooming the 2nd year in most cases, and for those in warmer climates-twice a year.
