Recognize the material

Lunaria annua has four-petaled purple flowers and later develops flattened pods with translucent central partitions. Flowering and pod-bearing stems are visually different.

Botanical reference: Lunaria annua — NC State Extension

Choose the stage before ordering

State which stage is wanted before ordering. A purple-flower photograph does not promise the pale papery discs often associated with honesty. Compare stages only using correctly identified examples.

A comparison you can reproduce

Record the required stage alongside an exported ingredient list and price the actual supplied stems. The app has one Honesty record: it does not forecast pod maturity or assume flowering and pod stems share a price.

The comparison is an original BLUMIVELA planning exercise, not a tested arrangement or a botanical treatment.

Care and evidence scope
