Video: Pure English plant: money tree

Money Tree - plant fat woman, so named for its plump, coin-like leaves. It is believed that it brings good luck - but raising a fat African woman in our latitudes is possible only in a house. But the British know how to turn absolutely any plant in the money tree - and completely without genetic engineering. They just stick coins in the trees! Not a bad way to save money on fountains, isn't it?
For many years in the English forests next to large cities there were the most ordinary, unsuspecting trees. The fate of each of them radically changed when the first passer-by thought of driving a coin deep into the soft bark. Back in the 18th century, wealthy Scots began to decorate plants with golden florins, in the hope that injecting money into the wood would bring them health and happiness. The current tradition of making money trees from scrap materials is believed to grow from the same root.
It is unknown when the fashion for money trees returned to England. No one can even say for sure who is profitable (rather, unprofitable) to insert coins into plants. It's just that there are more and more of them. Some even form an amazing second bark of copper one-pennies with portraits of the queen. If you think trees are hurt by such decorations, then this is not so: after all, the bark is a dead part of the plant. It turns out that the patterns from the coins are something like the patterns on the nails.
Most of cash plants is located in the county of Cumbria. Perhaps there they are produced by the same enthusiasts who make crop circles?
We do not know if it is possible on the basis of existence homemade money trees call England the Country of Fools. In any case, financial creativity did not begin today, and not yesterday: remember at least a coin of 840 thousand coins. Coin trees became the heroes of BBC reports: it is possible that the practice of their production will become a national English tradition: it is much better than, following the example of the Germans, sculpting gum on trees.

The tree of hope: a Christmas tree with 7 thousand paper cranes

Ball tree, dandelion tree. Unusual landscapes by Vu Cong Dien
As much as one would like autumn, winter is taking over the reins of government more and more tightly, depriving trees of their beautiful yellow-orange suits, and forcing people to wrap themselves deeper in scarves and coat collars. And we got used to it for a long time. Everyone except the Vietnamese artist Vu Cong Dien: his seasons are similar to each other, and only the color combinations chosen by the author for a particular painting suggest whether it is winter, spring or summer. And the trees are invariably fluffy, like dandelions or airy
