This painting is part of a modern day florilegium. The word florilegium originates from the latin ‘gather’ and ‘flower’. At a time when photography was not yet invented, artists recorded newly discovered plants and flowers through paint.
Honesty (Lunaria annua) is best known for its papery, silver seed pods that resemble old coins, earning it the nickname "money plant." These distinctive discs appear after flowering and have long been valued for their simple, striking presence in gardens and dried arrangements.
