lunaria

Silvery seed pods

Lunaria is a genus of flowering plants in the mustard family, grown ornamentally for their distinctive seed pods—flat, silvery, translucent discs that persist after the seeds disperse.

These papery remnants, sometimes called silver dollars or honesty, are prized in dried flower arrangements: The lunaria caught the light from the window.
