Dried lunaria leaves
Dried lunaria leaves : Lunaria annua , called honesty or annual honesty in English, is a species of flowering plant in the cabbage and mustard family Brassicaceae. It is native to the Balkans and south west Asia, and cultivated throughout the temperate world. It is an annual or biennial growing to 90 cm (35 in) tall by 30 cm (12 in) broad, with large, coarse, pointed oval leaves with marked serrations. The leaves are hairy, the lower ones long-stalked, the upper ones stalkless.
In spring and summer it bears terminal racemes of white or violet flowers, followed by showy, green through light brown, translucent, disc-shaped silicles (not true botanical seedpods). When a silicle is ripe and dry, a valve on each of its sides readily falls off, and its seeds fall off a central membrane which has a silvery sheen, 3–8 cm (1–3 in) in diameter; the membrane can persist on a plant throughout a winter depending on the weather. These silicles are much used in dry floral arrangements.
In spring, this plant blooms beautiful and eye-catching flowers that have a fragrant scent. At the end of the summer, these flowers turn into oval leaves that are silvery in color and are widely used in sequined dried flowers . The flowers of this plant, because they grow from purple, pink and a combination of the two, are very impressive at sunset. After a long time, when the flowers are pods and the pods are dry, their green color is determined and its silver part appears, which looks like a coin.
The life of this plant is about two years and in the second year of its life, their branches grow larger. At the beginning of the New Year, the lunaria annua flower, which has many fans, is widely used. After a long time, when the flowers are pods and the pods are dry, their green color is determined and its silver part appears, which looks like a coin. for more information please read Iran Lunaria plant specification .
