Here in north carolina, U.S.A., we call that plant the silver dollar or money plant. What you see are seed pods. They have a lot of small purplish blooms. If some of those you're looking at are a dull grey/brown just rub it gently between your finger and thumb. The outside will peel off and leave the silvery one that is so beautiful in arrangements.

[@spiderlady1943]

here in Ireland we call this plant Honesty - I have several clumps in my garden and renew the dried flower arrangement each season :)

[@tamarrajames3590]

Many people, as they age tend to effectively use less and less of their home. They lack the strength and mobility to keep it all clean and neat. The parts they still actively use are the spaces that remain uncluttered and relatively neat. Thank you for sharing this home with us.🖤🇨🇦

[@soundwavs1961c]

That was so adorable how you tucked the teddy bear in the bed and made it look comfortable . You're such good hearted person I can just tell by watching all your videos. Treating everything with respect. 🤗🤗❤️

The flowers all over walls and ceiling make me feel claustrophobic!! I can’t breathe very well when I see them!

[@jilldavis7229]

I can’t figure this place out!?! Some rooms we’re unlivable as they were sooo very dirty, messy & unorganized! But some were pristine & livable! It makes me wonder if vandals have come through & destroyed most of the rooms but left others untouched?!? Thank you Leslie, Jordy & Celine for sharing this wonderful property with us! I loved it ❤️

[@1BostonTerrierGirl]

That dry plant with the silvery round discs is called Lunaria Biennis. AKA Money Plant, Silver Dollar Plant, Honesty, Moonwort or Flower Seed. Very easy to grow. The seeds are in the silvery discs. Outside, when the wind blows the silvery discs off, the plant re-seeds itself. We called it Money plant and grew a few plants in out New England garden.

[@Beija48]

Thank you for this visit. For information: the villa has since been emptied and work has been carried out. A new family has moved there in 2023. The land has been cleared

[@angel_whispers4290]

Really?😮

[@Chahlie]

So sad. I keep my house spotless and have a beautiful garden but my adult children are only interested in money and with online banking they don't even have to come in person to get it. The few nice things I have I keep polished , the silver polished even though no one comes to dinner, plants everywhere. When I die it will just get all rifled through and tossed around looking for money. I have decided I need to move to a poor country where my money, as small as it is, can do some good to a poor village. I would rather give it to people who would appreciate it, and who know what real suffering is, as I do. Ashes to ashes and dust to dust at the end.

[@jan7240]

Wow Heather so sad hearing that you know already how your children will act upon the loss of you 😢 imagine sending air hugs your way 🤗🤗❤️

[@Survivor-mf1nm]

Excellent idea. You are definitely not the only person who feels that way.

[@deborahwilcox631]

Heather, I am so sad, as well to see how you know the pain of selfish children as many of us do. I agree with your plans. Better to give a little to those who will appreciate your kindness. It will give you the most joy.

[@gloriahanes5338]

Heather, its time to let your children know how you feel and hold nothing back. Adult children are busy though no excuse not to visit. No visit ...no money simply put these children need to understand you gave them life and they need to appreciate you more. My daughter doesn't call often, but when she does she thanks me always for giving her life, and I let her know how I am feeling and when I feel neglected speak up honey, your children need to know how you feel.

Hi Lesley plus good evening, from a rather chilly Dorset. I look forward so much to watching you, on your journeys to people's homes. Love the stately homes. This viewing, lots of dry rot. Especially the woodwork in the lounge. Great for closeups on photography. To see how 17 years has dried out the wood. From lack of airing. The Madame of the house definitely liked wallpaper especially the bedroom. Would I want to wakeup to that every morning. Loved how the cobweb in the middle of the hallway. Left a long Web. Loved the music of the guitar. Could listen to the Classic romantic mystic melody. But very interesting Leslie. See you next week. Enjoy, start safe always. ❤️🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔💕🔔🎼🌍🌎🌏🌐

[@virginiaeckley3047]

That was so sweet of you to tuck that bear in bed as neat as you did.

[@TheasChristmasVillages]

When a place is abandoned for that long, you can be sure a lot of vandals have caused the mess and decay. I really don't think people lived like that.

The dried plant is "Luneria Annua Violet", common name, "Money Plant".

Hi Lesley, this plant you don't know the name of in Germany we call it "Silberblättchen". First it blooms in lilac flowers but when it gets it's seeds the dry silver leafs appear to hold the seeds. These "Silberblättchen" remind me of my childhood and my grandma, because she had them in her garden. I really love your videos and the way you treat all these abandoned places with such repect! Really good work!

[@N2Opassion]

In french the name is " monnaie du pape"

[@Chahlie]

In Canada and UK it is 'Honesty' or Lunaria. I loved it in my grandparents garden as a child, and grow it now hoping that I would have grandkids around to enjoy it. It blooms so early in the spring as it is a biennial, and the lovely pink flowers are so cheery.

[@sallycollins2445]

In the US it is the Silver Dollar or Money plant

[@N2Opassion]

@@sallycollins2445 sound like the french name :)

[@jolandasnell689]

In the Netherlands it's called "Judaspenning", which is a rather sinister name for such a nice plant. You can translate it into something like "Judas' pennies" and it stands for the 30 coins that Judas received for betraying Christ.

[@debbiejones3911]

Good to see Jordy. The dining room was really interesting with the beautiful chandelier and then the decaying wood on the walls.

I have a lot of those plants in my yard in Massachusetts. We were told they are silver dollar plants.

[@southernbelle3995]

The place was gone thru by someone looking for something. Drawers and doors were left open. I don't know that the mess was all done by owner. Could have been owner's children, looters, etc. By the way, Leslie, you are such a sweet and gentle soul. Some day you will make your partner very happy. I enjoy watching you.

[@lisaclark6977]

I agree, it looks like certain rooms were just ransacked. For the other rooms to be so clean I think it's someone looking for specific things. Maybe someone who knew where or what rooms she would have kept things of value or money. She may have kept money in the home more than a bank for convenience.

[@jimmyfortrue3741]

I agree too. All the rooms seemed ransacked (maybe more than once) except the room with the doors that were shut.

Maybe one reason the place is a mess. Someone pass away, hopefully not the child. The needle was by the child bed. They were so sad and didn't want to keep the house clean. Except the rooms that were important to them. The way you tucked the bear in ,shows you would be a good father one day. I am watching this on father's day.

[@XenaBe25]

Yes. Also, when people age and become sickly, they develop mobility issues, and sometimes dementia. My sister is young and sickly, but still has healthier phases to balance out the not-so-healthy times. Her place gets pretty messy when she's in too much pain to stand for long periods of time. But she has friends and family who help her clean 2 or 3 times each year. It must be horrible for these elderly people all addled and dying in a messy house with nobody to help them take care of themselves through their final year(s) of life.
