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.

[@isaaclang6031]

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.

[@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.

[@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]

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.

[@paulsmith8212]

Leslie, It strikes me as interesting that twenty five feet away , on the other side of the hedges is another home. The home next door is most probably alive , full of kids and everyday people. They have lived next door to this vacant property for maybe twenty years or so. If my family lived next door to a home like that I’d be contacting the city or the Mayors office because it poses a danger of rodents or an unstable foundation that my kids could get hurt playing over there or maybe it’s just plain Haunted. Look up some of those empty mansions in Detroit, Michigan all boarded up with the next door mansion, 10 feet away with cars in the driveway . Very strange looking. Leslie, You popped open the freezer so uneventfully ( maybe you had already looked inside before) What if some stiff from years ago was in it ? Also noticed the spooky doll with one eye missing ( like it been poked out) and the one eyed teddy to boot . You don’t seem alarmed or concerned with the flower motif in that place … That is just too weird! Ok , As usual you and your fearless crew have investigated another abandoned kind of spooky ( with all the needles in a kids room) property and taken excellent photography. Stay safe my friend.

[@bluelady111]

This house probably have been abandoned at least 18 years or more. The level of molds and decays really give that impression. It is also, most likely, the house is on a very wet soil. Moisture can speed the decay. The house is old, and probably one of the couple inherented it from their parents, the house looks build maybe in 30s-50s, and start to decay while the residents were living in. I don't think the couple did have children, and the children stuff seen probably was used by one of the couple when they were just a child. Or, they did have a child but did died at a very young age. We always assume that the residents of the house leave a mess before they abandoned the house, but it could be anyone who enter the house, maybe someone else lived in the house when they knew it is empty, and they are the one who left the 2003 and 2005 items. And make it a mess because they didn't care. I really don't understand how can some people accumulated so much stuffs that do clutter places and make it hard to mange!

[@lethylxistns4759]

Unfortunately Leslie when people age and are alone, and their health is failing it becomes hard to clean, cook and take care of their homes, and then it can lead to hoarding, their way of feeling they still have control

I am already asking my niece's what of mine they like and are interested in. Turns out not much. Their tastes are completely different. So I've learned to start selling or donating what I no longer use. So when I pass, they can just have the rest hauled off, for a fee that I'll include in my will. I think that much stuff would irritate or overwhelm them, to deal with.

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.🖤🇨🇦

[@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.

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.

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.

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.
