Every garden needs some honesty - the lunaria type of honesty with its beautiful purple flowers that become green pods with a pointy top & with the seeds visible.
They become stunning translucent papery pods that dry out & keep for months in a vase.
I love the hint of the seeds in the green pods as they grow, then the pods dry on the plant with dark papery skins that rub away easily to reveal the seeds & the gorgeous iridescent seed pods.
Mine self seeds in various places on the patio & the pods are forming their beautiful green shapes. It looks like the stems will have loads of pods this year.
I look forward to picking the stems in the autumn when they have set seed, then popping the stems in a vase on a windowsill so their beautiful pods catch the light.
This is a large vase in the kitchen window with the pods from last year. Aren't they just gorgeous?
I hope you grow some too as they are low maintenance. Pop by again soon,
Dee
