i hoard these money plant seedpods as if they could actually make me rich. i am the ebeneezer scrooge of lunaria annua. unfortunately, we find ourselves in january, our annual lean month, between the holiday splurge and the start of tax season, when we start looking around for little pockets of money we might otherwise have overlooked. i haven’t yet managed to translate the fort knox of seed pods in my basement into actual currency that they will accept at blue cross blue shield and the local grocery store. my arguments about the intrinsic value of natural beauty falls on deaf ears.
