- Silver Dollars
When I was a girl, my grandma had a huge bouquet of dried Silver Dollars in a vase. I remember fondling the white paper-like petals and thought what a wonderful, dainty creation they were.
Grandma seemed to have them wherever she went, and until recently, I never knew what they looked like before they were dried, nor did I know their real name. The Latin name for this beautiful plant is Lunaria - they are also known around the world as the "money plant" and by the old-fashioned name, "silver dollar."
They're captured here, in all their colorful brilliance - a small piece of nature's glorious growing beauty.
Grandma, would be so proud that I found them in the wild.
This was shot using my Canon T-70, a Kiron 105 mm Macro Lens, and 200 speed film. The sky was overcast and no enhancements were used in this image.
