This is as close as I get to docorating for Halloween. I let the garden do what it does.
And the ladybird seems to approve.

( Physalis alkekengi )

Federleicht sind die skelettierte Hülle der #Lampionblume und ihr Schatten // The skeletonised shell of the #ChineseLantern plant and its shadow are as light as a feather.

Physalis alkekengi: Lampionblume mit ihrer Frucht auch als Blasenkirsche bekannt...

These are Chinese Lantern seed pods. Aren’t they fun? I like the cheery orange, and the way the pod walls mostly disintegrate to show the lantern’s skeleton and the seed within.

It’s apparently invasive, so I grow it in a pot.

#Physalisalkekengi #ChineseLantern grows semi-wild at our #Kleingarten lot. I usually weed them. But they are actually beautiful, dried as #Christmas decorations. Happy holidays!
