Honesty - Lunaria - Money Plant (Lunaria annua) Silver Dollar Moonwort Money Plant Flower

Biennial

Height 2-3 ft

Lunaria annua, also called Honesty, Annual Honesty, Moonwort, Money Plant, and Silver Dollar Plant, is a species of flowering plant in the cabbage and mustard family Brassicaceae. Honesty is native to the Balkans and South-west Asia, and is widely cultivated throughout the temperate world.

Lunaria plants are classified as biennials as they form a basal rosette of leaves during its first year and purple flowers, or seed pods, emerge the following year. The iridescent "leaves" are actually seed pods called silicles. These seed pods follow the flowers.

Seed pods start out with a green outer husk, and later shed the husk along with their seeds. Great self seeder. Afterwards, the fully dried see through discs appear and are paper-like, and have a short, needle-like projection that hangs down from the bottom of each seed pod, and their sheen makes them appear as coins...hence the name 'silver dollars'. 

 

Honesty has a cabbage like taste in both the leaves and flowers. The flowers can be added to salads. The leaves can be collected and used as a green vegetable or in salads before the flowers appear. The dried seed pods are often used in flower arranging due to their silver, coin like appearance. Purple or white cross shaped flowers grow all over the tall stems.

Seeds can be used to make a mustard substitute which is strengthened by crushing and mixing with cold water. The root can be peeled and eaten. The seeds taste like mustard. Plant lunaria in the spring after the final frost—it will grow quickly, with seedlings emerging in just 10 to 14 days.  

  • Sun to part shade
  • Prefers well-draining evenly moist soil
  • Direct sow recommended: before the flowers appear in Spring it can be easy to confuse with several other species but after the white or purple flowers bloom the plant can be identified quite easily.
  • Sow the harvested seeds outdoors in spring as soon as you can work the ground, covering them lightly with soil and water.
  • Spacing: 15 to 18 in apart
  • Germination: about 2 weeks.
  • Harvest: cut the plant off at its base -bring indoors and tie a bundle with some twine and suspend upside-down in a room with low humidity levels. The seed pods should be fully dried in about 2 to 3 weeks; the husk (green outer layer) has typically fallen off by itself, if it doesn't,  gently rub it off.  Requires thorough drying. RC

Plato's dialogue about the physical world
Format: Paperback
The two biggest topics in the Timaeus are astronomy and the elements of bodies, which are constructed using triangles and the tetrahedron, octahedron, icosahedron, and cube. I would like to see a translation of the Timaeus that uses it as a way to introduce all the astronomy that appears in the dialogue. Introducing the astronomy does not mean just talking in words about spheres or the zodiac or the ecliptic, but actually explaining how these were used by astronomers. Cornford has much to say, but to someone who has not learned any Greek astronomy his commentary will be opaque and hard to use. I didn't know the astronomy well enough to readily understand Cornford's explanations. I plan to learn more classical Greek astronomy, perhaps using Evans' , and then read Waterfield's translation of the Timaeus . Before reading this you should have read the Republic and know some classical Greek natural philosophy, mathematics, and astronomy. Although Cornford's commentary makes the dialogue staccato, I am glad for it because I wouldn't otherwise have understood much of what Plato says. The Timaeus and the Parmenides are the two dialogues of Plato that one needs commentary to understand; the Parmenides demands the commentary because so much of what is happening depends on the original language, and the Timaeus demands the commentary because of all the things the reader is supposed to be familiar with. The following is a list of topics I kept while reading the dialogue: theory of Forms 27d-28a, 51a-52a; harmonics 35b-36b; time 37c-38e, 39b-e; vision 45b-46c, 67c-68d; space 52b; surfaces 53c; weight 62d-63e; sound 67a-67c; physiology 70c-79e, 80d-86a; antiperistasis 79e-80c.

Helpful, but Waterfield is better for an intro
Format: Paperback
This is basically a scholarly paragraph-by-paragraph commentary on the Timaeus. It's really good for what it is, but I don't recommend it as your first introduction to the Timaeus -- rather, I recommend Waterfield: http://www.amazon.com/Timaeus-Critias-Oxford-Worlds-Classics-ebook/dp/B006NTMD16 A problem with using Cornford as an introduction is that he comments on everything, and it's hard to figure out what the main themes are. I tried reading Cornford as an intro and gave it up, but once I'd read Waterfield I found Cornford extremely helpful both in elucidating passages further than Waterfield does, and in interpreting passages Waterfield doesn't cover. So if you're looking to learn about the Timaeus, I'd suggest Waterfield first and Cornford second (or Cornford alongside Waterfield).

Cornford's running commentary is arguably the best suited to fulfill this desire
Readers of any of Plato's works are bound to feel they might profit from various commentaries. His Timaeus, in particular, may be said to elicit such a hope because of number and intricacy of its details. Cornford's running commentary is arguably the best suited to fulfill this desire: it helps make clear the integrity of the dialogue as a whole and illumines the specific points along the way. Although this work is certainly dated, originally published in 1937, it is certainly one of the best full commentaries on the Timaeus.
