In our vegetable garden we found this Honesty-plant (judaspenning in Dutch). There is a variety in purple and in white. It is starting to show its flowers at this moment, it looks like this:
It grows quite large and then it produces seedpods which have a silvery colour. These are really decorative and each year I save some. They dry up like this:
Each has about 3 seeds in it, protected by a matt outer leaf. When you peel this outer leaf of, you end up with this pearly, almost transparent paper leaf... beautiful!
