L is for Lunaria....
Lunaria or Honesty is a nice little plant that has pink flowers in the Spring time. In the Autumn it is covered with these lovely silver `pennies` that are used for flower arranging.I discovered this fabulous bunch beside the road in the countryside, so I took them home and hung them at the window to dry, then peeled the `pennies` to reveal the lovely silvery moons beneath, and have them arranged in this chunky vase beside the fire. The seeds I`m going to set in the garden, so I always have a good supply.

I love honesty! We have one or two plants in the garden, but I've been lazy about drying them and bringing them in. Perhaps I should do that!
Oh wow -- you've cleared up a mystery about the name of that plant... Lunaria is well suited as a name, and I guess Honesty isn't a bad name either...
what a great idea! these are so pretty.
Thank you SO much for posting this today on your blog.
I have wanted to get this plant for a LONG LONG time but didn't know the name.
You have just made my day.
Thank you so much.
