Money Plant


My neighbor tells me this is a "Money Plant"... for the coin-like seed pods. I said they should call it the "sliced cucumber plant".

That's what my mother and my grandmother always called them as well. It made for nice childhood illusions and fantasies, but was quite a disappointment when I became old enough to realize how much those "coins" are actually worth.

I loved those when I was a kid. Now we can't get rid of them from our yard because they spread like weeds :-)

I'd go with Muenster Cheese plant.

I've never seen this plant before. As usual, lovely photo work.
