Your Guide to Success with House Plants, Tips for Growing Plants Indoors - Guide-to-Houseplants.com. Lunaria annua. Lunaria annua, called honesty or annual honesty in English, is a species of flowering plant native to the Balkans and south west Asia, and naturalized 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. In spring and summer it bears terminal racemes of white or violet flowers, followed by showy, light brown, translucent, disc-shaped seedpods (silicles) the skin of which falls off to release the seeds, revealing a central membrane which is white with a silvery sheen, 3–8 cm (1–3 in) in diameter; they persist on the plant through winter.[1] These pods are much used in floral arrangements. Etymology[edit] The Latin name lunaria means "moon-shaped" and refers to the shape and appearance of the seedpods.[2] The common name "honesty" arose in the 16th century, and may also relate to the translucence of the seedpods.

Welcome to the Pacific Bulb Society Wiki. This is a volunteer-written encyclopedia about flower bulbs.
You'll find information on thousands of bulb species (with photos in most cases), plus selected hybrids. We also cover related topics like how to grow them, how to obtain them, our personal favorite bulbs, and where to see them in the wild and in gardens. We include all "geophytes:" plants with an underground storage organ such as bulbs, corms, rhizomes, and tubers. The common bulbs you can find in a garden center are nice, but pale in comparison to the beauty and uniqueness of many species bulbs and their lesser-known hybrids. The photos you see here are just a sampling of the incredible diversity that's out there waiting for you to discover it. This guide was created by the members of the Pacific Bulb Society e-mail discussion list, a group of people from around the world who are interested in growing and gardening with bulbs.
