The hardy annual or biennial Lunaria annua (honesty, Chinese money, grandpa's specs, money in both pockets, moon seed, penny flower, satin pod, silver plate, white satin, silver dollar) has a number of varieties with purple, white or lilac coloured flowers and some have variegated foliage. The major display feature of all these is that in autumn and winter after flowering there are flat, round, silvery seed pods. The plants will readily self-seed to provide a succession of plants.

A plant that found a space for itself on the street; this Lunaria annua (honesty, grandpa's specs, money in both pockets, moon seed, satin pod, silver plate, silver dollar) will have seeded into the edge of the path. As a hardy annual or biennial the plants are always moving around producing purple flowers in late spring which are followed by flat, round, silvery seed pods.
