Money Plant

The money plant certainly travels a lot.  Its seeds move everywhere, even down into our woods.  The rain water washes them away down the hill.  This purplish flower can be seen at a distance.

I have looked for a picture of what it looks like in the fall--evidently lost somewhere in Picassa.  The silvery seedpods look just like coins, a bit translucent, and they remain most of the winter before breaking apart and spreading seeds everywhere. Mine came from my mother's house, but if your neighbors have these flowers, one might just wander into your yard.
