    Very lovely. I remember calling it ‘money plant’ when I was young. I never knew its proper name.

    not sure this actually is lunaria
    i have lunaria in my backyard garden and it doesn’t have this shape or size of “coins”. It could be another relative in the mustard family.

      Margie, you are right. It is hoary alyssum. All I needed was “mustard family” to get to the right source. Thanks again!
