Nope, the flowers don't look like Lunaria, I agree. The roots don't either.
They look like aster flowers (especially thistles, centauria, etc.).
The fibrous base looks like nard and certain kinds of ferns.
The first time I saw it I thought Venus flytrap, but the stalks are all wrong. After thinking about it for a while, the closest match I could think of was Asparagus, which has long rows of red and green berries and a huge root, but it's not a perfect ID either. I've never been completely sure about this plant.
