Lunaria, often called the silver dollar plant or moonwort, is named for its translucent, moon-like seed pods that dry to a pale, papery silver. Long associated with the moon and cycles of reflection, dried lunaria has been used in folk tradition to invite abundance and honesty into the home. Its papery pods hold light even after the plant itself has faded, making it a symbol of what remains valuable through change.
