Silver Dollar Plant by seattlite

Silver Dollar Plant

One leaf of this silver dollar plant was capturing the sun which created a silky shine that caught my eye. Today I'm off to Green Lake to cat sit. I had restless sleep due to a wind/rain storm that lasted through the early morning hours. Oh well... Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy these last two days of 2017.
You can curl up with that soft pussy cat! Nice shot. In England we call this honesty..

Beautiful seeds of this lovely plant ( Honesty ). I let these reseed themselves around the Garden and just pull out the ones that I don't need, great capture ...Fav

It’s Honesty (purple flower). I collect them for dried flower arrangements. Lovely shot, Gloria.

You've certainly caught the sheen on this seed head. As the others have said this is Honesty and as @tonygig says, leave the seeds to naturally germinate and you will get a wonderful early show of purple flowers.

@quietpurplehaze @tonygig @foxes37 @Cherrill FYI -- When I looked up the name of this plant, I found that it has several names: "Take the Lunaria annua, also known as the money plant, the silver dollar plant, the honesty plant, and moonwort. Because of their rather prolific nature, this plant is sometimes called a perennial." epicgardening.com
