i am still getting teased for my slight overreaction to finding these silver dollar plant seed pods growing out of the top of a stone wall during a family outing. i gasped as if an intruder had just jumped out at me, and blurted, “seed pods!” in the middle of the street. my children have spent the last two days imitating me every time they walk by this plant in our living room. still, i mean, look at them. wouldn’t you gasp too?

Bonjour, je suis ton blog avec joie et émerveillement depuis quelques mois, depuis un petit village d’Isere (entre Lyon et Grenoble).
Merci pour ce partage contemplatif !
J’espère que tu as pu rencontrer nicholas genning, parfumeur extraordinaire que je connais un peu, à st guilhem le désert.
They look other-worldly. I would have gasped, too.
We moved in our new apartment in December, and I was pleasantly surprised to spot Lunaria annua next to our car, on the parking lot (which is a surpreme luxury in the historical center of Montpellier) ox
Years ago I had one of these plants. But over time I have lost the seeds. Do you know where I can buy them? I would love to have them in my flower garden once again.
Thanks
