Lunaria annua 'Alba' | White Honesty | Money Plant
Elegant, timeless, and versatile — Lunaria annua 'Alba' is the pure white-flowering form of the beloved money plant, grown primarily for its distinctive seedpods. This easy-to-grow biennial offers charming starry white blooms in spring, followed by flat, translucent seed discs that are perfect for both fresh and dried arrangements.
Highly valued by floral designers and gardeners alike, its ethereal seedpods shimmer like silver coins and last beautifully in wreaths, bouquets, and decor throughout autumn and winter.
Key Features
- Plant type: Biennial (self-seeding)
- Flower color: White
- Height: Up to 90 cm
- Spread: 30 cm
- Flowering period: May to August
- Position: Full sun or partial shade
- Uses: Dried arrangements, autumn decor, cut flower gardens
- Soil: Moist, fertile, well-drained
- Special trait: Tolerates poor soil and shade
Though the flowers are delicate and short-lived, the real treasure lies in the seedpods — each plant can produce 20–30 stems heavily laden with flat, coin-like seed cases. These can be harvested fresh while green or left to mature for a silvery, papery finish.
Sowing Instructions
- Direct sowing: Best sown directly in autumn or early spring in 3 mm deep drills spaced 30 cm apart. Keep soil moist until germination and thin seedlings to 15 cm.
- Indoor sowing: Sow onto loam-based compost; lightly cover with a thin layer of grit. Maintain warmth at 18°C for 6–8 weeks, then cold stratify at 5°C for another 6–8 weeks. Return to warmth to trigger germination. Repeat warm–cold cycle if needed.
- Note: Germination can be slow and erratic — patience is key.
Growing Notes
- Thrives in less-than-perfect spots — including part shade and poor soil
- Avoid excessive feeding or manure
- Minimal maintenance once established
Harvesting & Drying
- Harvest seedheads in late summer to autumn when pods are mature and paper-like
- Peel off the green outer layer to reveal luminous, silvery discs
- To dry: Hang stems upside down in a warm, dark place for 2–3 weeks
Dried seedpods are fragile — handle with care once dried.

Great Read
Great book, I enjoyed reading it. I am non-lawyer so I spent time having to read and re-read sentences and paragraphs but darn good book. Highly recommend it. Sometimes a person can be in discussion with an official, doctor, lawyer, cop ..whatever--it helps to remember arguments made in this book. Most folks just try to explain a situation, heaven forbid standing in front of a court or judge in a legal matter. But, this type of reading builds confidence, a strong vocabulary and so forth. It matters most trying to persuade a person or an institution..just winning, making your point in a clear coherent and cognizant way. This book can teach you these things.

You don't have to like Justice Scalia to like his book.
Perhaps an appellate brief that you wrote would have been perfect if only the judge had read it. The lesson you learned, hopefully, was that there is no guarantee that a judge will read your brief. The lesson you can learn from "Making Your Case" is how to write so that the judges will read what you wrote - preferably before your oral argument. Writing in a quite candid, lucid and entertaining style, Scalia and Garner serve up tips that even the most experienced lawyers can learn from. If you find yourself approaching the court's word limit, for example, you may be minimizing the chances of having your brief read, as judges really do favor brevity. How do you write for a court that is notoriously dismissive of higher court precedents? How do you best respond to a judge who asks whether you would be content with a remand? These and other critical questions are addressed simply yet insightfully. If your legal education stressed the IRAC approach (Issue, Rule, Application, Conclusion), Scalia and Garner take you a step further by stressing a syllogistic approach. Even if you have already been exposed to all the best ideas about persuading appellate judges, you are still likely to gain much rom reading "Making Your Case" because the authors organize all those ideas in a way that makes them much easier to remember and keep them in mind as you prepare your written and oral arguments. Justice Scalia calls his approach to legal reasoning and argument "textualism," which I understand to mean that his decisions are driven by the language of the law and of the case. My impression from reading many of his decisions is that he is often driven by ideology, so I can't quite square his book with his decisions. I also question the book's fundamental statement that the overriding objective of a brief is to make the court's job easier, as I prefer to write primarily for the purpose of winning the case. My criticisms of "Making Your Case" are miniscule compared to those thrown at it by Richard Posner. But although I find Judge Posner's decisions generally more fair than those of Justice Scalia, I prefer the clarity of Justice Scalia's writing - especially when he teams up with Bryan Garmer. Judge Posner notwithstanding, Scalia and Garner have put together a gem that is likely to prove invaluable for law students as well as for trial and appellate lawyers who are still interested in improving their game. If you fall into either category, buy this book, read it two or three times, and then keep it handy as a reference. It should help you make your case.

Elegant, useful
Simply the best book on legal persuasive writing ever written.
Interesting, useful, fun, full of great anecdotes. Terrific discussion of statutory interpretation. Great references to scholarly classical treatises on rhetoric. This book is wonderful both for its analysis of oral argument and for its discussion of written forms of persuasion, like briefs. I wish I had had it earlier.
My only complaint is the same one I have with virtually all modern style manuals: they advocate a simplistic prose style, characterized by short, conversational sentences, avoiding unusual words, eschewing Latin phrases. But I personally often find prose that breaks these rules a refreshing change. I enjoy reading a word or phrase I rarely see but that is perfectly chosen. And I enjoy learning new words or phrases. This book would condemn two of the greatest legal prose stylists out there: John Marshall and Learned Hand, both of whose opinions often contained sentences that would not work so well conversationally, that were full of long, convoluted sentences and classical allusions. My sense is that in this joint work Justice Scalia, who can write rich and interesting prose, pushed back against some of the simplifying strictures of his co-author.
Furthermore, I think that often too much emphasis on simple words and sentences serves to make more complex ideas too difficult to express or to understand. Thus, the book (like most books) argues against "jargon," but jargon, once learned, is often a much clearer way of expressing something than a rephrasing.
And the Roe v. Wade anecdote is great! It explains a lot...
In any case, I am hardly qualified to criticize Justice Scalia, whose writing is far beyond my own. Anyway, this is a great book.
