I have some beautiful Honesty flowers in my garden, and this year I decided to collect the seeds and give others a chance to plant them in their garden too.

| Beautiful Purple Honesty Flower |
 |
| New Seed Pockets |
The flowers come in shades of purple, pink or white, I have the pretty purple ones. They flower in spring and early summer, once flowered they produce seed heads that gradually dry out, if you leave them through the winter they will drop their seeds and will re-seed every year.

| Dried Seed Pockets for Honesty Seeds |
You can take the dried covering off the seeds leaving a beautiful oval and translucent spray coveted by dried flower arrangers.

Honesty Seeds, or Lunaria Seeds meaning Moon Shaped are quite delicate but will last for years in a dried flower arrangement.
These lovely flowers lead me to make some greeting cards...
These have been painted using acrylic paints, they also have a little bit of shimmer on the discs.
They come in three colours, Plum, Orange and Brown.
Each card is blank for your own message and can be used for any number of greetings, great for Anniversaries, Birthdays, Retirement or Sympathy or just to let someone know that you care.
If you or the recipient doesn't want to plant them in their little patch of loveliness they can always
pop them in their pocket and sprinkle them in the hedgerows when out for
a walk.
These cards can be found in my
Handcrafted by Picto Folksy Shop
