My lengthy bloom should suit your needs,
You’ll find me in your garden,
With dollar coins to hold the seeds,
My greed I hope you’ll pardon.

They are so funny looking plants. I had some growing in the garden on the Charlottes. Nice little poem!

I didn’t know that. I had never seen them until we moved back to Vancouver Island.

If you ever get one plant, or even a seed, you’ll never be without these plants again.

For years I saw these only in arrangements in the stores, and assumed they were artificial.

Dear Anneli
They grow here wild and are seen as weeds. People don’t want them in their gardens.
Wishing you a happy weekend

Oh, too bad. To me they are so special. I have them in my planter box by the front door.

Dear Anneli
There we see, what’s a weed in one place is a garden flower in the other. It’s all relative.

They’re pretty plants. I particularly like them in the fall as they change colour and go to seed.

My mom used to have one of those plants. She called it a money plant, I guess because the seed pods look like coins.

I like honesty. The flowers are lovely, and the seed pods give an interest in the garden long after the flowers have gone.
I’ve never heard them called a money plant, though. Here in the UK, a money plant is crassula ovata, or jade plant. It is said that if you have one you’ll never be short of money.
