  Yes it is, it's also called satin violet, money plant, Lunaria (moonwort) or silver dollars, Luna, the moon which explains the shape of the seed pods - lots of wildflowers have lots of different names, I always find it quite fascinating :) Posted 14 years ago

    Thanks for the explanation. I added a few tags to match with those names. Posted 14 years ago
