Lunaria annua, commonly known as the annual honesty or money plant, is a striking biennial or short-lived perennial that is often grown for its unique, translucent seed pods. This plant typically grows 2-3 feet tall, with tall, upright stems and ovate, coarsely toothed leaves. In early to mid-spring, Lunaria annua produces clusters of small, four-petaled flowers, usually purple, pink, or white, that attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. By summer, these flowers give way to its iconic seed pods, which begin as green and gradually turn into papery, translucent discs with a silvery sheen, resembling coins, which gives the plant its common name. The seed pods are often used in dried flower arrangements. Lunaria annua thrives in well-draining, fertile soil in full sun to partial shade. It is adaptable to various soil types and is relatively low-maintenance, making it a popular choice for garden borders, wildflower gardens, and as an ornamental plant. It also self-seeds, ensuring it returns year after year. Zones 5-9

Germination

To germinate Lunaria annua seeds, start by preparing the seeds with a period of cold stratification to break dormancy. To do this, sow the seeds in a pot or seed tray filled with a well-draining potting mix and lightly press them into the surface. Cover the tray with a plastic cover or a plastic bag to maintain humidity. Store the seeds in a refrigerator at 35-40°F (1-4°C) for about 4-6 weeks. After stratification, move the seed tray to a warm, bright location with temperatures around 65-70°F (18-21°C) and provide indirect light. Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Germination typically occurs within 10-20 days, but it can vary depending on conditions. Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into the garden, spacing them about 12-18 inches apart. Lunaria annua grows best in well-draining soil, and while it can tolerate partial shade, it thrives in full sun. Regular watering during the early stages of growth will help the plants establish, but once mature, they are relatively low-maintenance.

It's How Wars End That Become Important Afterward
Format: Paperback
The twentiety century taught us a lot about wars and how they end. World War I showed us that making strong demands on the defeated (who didn't admit defeat to their own people) set the stage for the next big war. World War II was fought until the Unconditional Surrender of the Germans and Japanese. Something that thinkers still debate as having made them fight all that harder. VietNam was fought with no clear end in sight, and "another VietNam" entered our language. The first Gulf War was ended when Colin Powell and Bush II debated how to end the war. They stopped before they had to go in and see what the Sunni's, Shiite's and Kurds made of the power vacuum left by the removal of Saddam would have created. Bush II is learning about this now. This is the second revised edition of this book, originally published in 1971 and then updated in 1991 and now 2005 to reflect happenings in new wars. Still some of the old wars had interesting insights that I didn't know before, such as how Finland, originally on Germany's side against Russia, made a peace with Russia and kicked the Germans out before they became a Russian province. Great Book.

Complementary readings
Format: Paperback
There are already three good reviews so I will only suggest reading the following books instead of, or in addition to, this peculiar work: a) "War in human civilization" by Azar Gat; b) "War before Civilization. The Myth of the Peaceful Savage", by Lawrence Keeley; c) "How War Began" by Keith F. Otterbein; d) "War and Peace and War: The Rise and Fall of Empires" by Peter Turchin; and e) "War and the Law of Nations: A General History" by Stephen Neff.

Excellent short-book analysis
Format: Paperback
This short book is an outstanding analysis of how nations end wars, or accept peace. Ikle shows how governments often prefer obviously self-destructive courses rather then compromise peace terms. The problem is most acute when factional interests dominate strategy rather then a rational unitary interest. In such a circumstance, factions that benefit from continuing the war will accuse those pursuing peace of treason. Sadly, there is no equivalent derogatory word in English for those who pursue war to the detriment of their country. The book was first written in 1971, and most of the examples are from the two world wars. The work is still extremely relevant, and at 130 pages it's well worth the time. Highly recommended as a first book to read on ending war.
