honesty (lunaria annua) offers protection and invites truth. a plant whose seed pod splits open when mature to reveal a translucent inner skin. seeds are held on both sides of this skin, safely tucked, as if in an envelope that offers two separate spaces. there is no stopping the layers from unfolding, seeds falling softly upon the soil to sprout forth in their own time. and the cycle begins anew.
