lunaria revisited

[OT from cottage renovations]

in the summertime one expects reruns, right?  here's another look at the subject of this entry from 12 June. 

I don't get the impression that lunaria is highly prized in the Grove -- these specimens had been uprooted and tossed along Grove Road for yard waste pickup.  before the haulage contractor could get to them, though, I did, and brought them home to await suitable light and the more limiting condition of a clue as to what to do with them.  yesterday afternoon I got around to burning a bit of digichrome in their general direction.

Money plant! Growing up, we always had some in our gardens. And always some in arrangements in our house.
