May 1: Honesty

When I was a child, we called this flower "Honesty". As an adult, I knew this plant as "Coin Plant" and Money Plant". (Can you see the faint green coin forming behind the main blossom? That is the seed pod that forms after the blossom fades. It looks more like a coin when it is ripe with seeds.) Now, people in my location are beginning to call this flower "Honesty" once again.
Nice floral close-up.

@morrisphotos Thanks. I was really happy with this shot. It was windy when I took my daily shots and so many of the photos showed this. I caught the Honesty clossoms between wind gusts.
