Does anyone remember as a child being fascinated by silver dollar plants or money plants? Those silver dollar size papery flat pods on long stems? I was. My grandmother grew them and would cut the silvery discs from her flower garden and hand them out to the grandchildren. A warm memory. Years later, remembering those plants, I decided to grow my own. Here's a photo of the beautiful flower of the silver dollar plant and just to the right of the flower the beginning growth of the silver dollar seed pod. When I visit the plant in my garden, I always think of my grandmother.
