Our local supermarket always have these flowers in their assortment in late Summer. They are known as physalis it seems, and it is the seed pods that make them very attractive. I have never actually bought them, am not sure how they would survive the Winter, but I think they probably would. On the other hand they might be food for slugs, and I avoid slug food in my garden.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain!

Retired and Enjoying Every Minute of It
I am Ahmed Abdi, a Wordpress blogger and storyteller who searches for stories that inspire people. I love writing because it’s a reflection of how I perceive the world around me. Lost in a world of endless chaos in my childhood, Unforgettable moments of tragedy and triumphs taught me the art of storytelling where I found myself through letter writing and then turned into stories but then sadly had lost everything I wrote for years. In 2018, I decided to create a Wordpress blog site that would allow me to store and retrieve every piece. Stories from my community, city and people are what make my writing so interesting and inspiring! I’m a tea lover so a cup of tea sometimes makes my blog.

Chronicles of an Anglo Swiss 
Love the orange pods. They show up in California around Halloween – Thanksgiving, as they resemble miniature pumpkins. Great photo, Pat. Good to see you doing so well with your new equipment – you caught lots of detail and rich color.

Sorry to disappoint but photos I take in the local store are with my telephone or canon camera. The macro apparatus is too big to take anywhere without a bag to carry it in, but thanks for the comment. Even mobile cameras are improving.

They are known as either Japanese or Chinese Lanterns here. They make excellent dried flowers. Your cut them open and hangthem from posts or ceiling. Very popular. Ut I don’t know how slugs like them. A favorite to grrow in Western Washington State and that is slug territory.

I have never seen them in local gardens, but there might be a few here and there: often in dried flower arrangements.

Yes, that seems to be the common name. The store only marked them with the latin name.

Not sure if these are exactly the same, but saw your post earlier today and found these cuttings in front of someone’s home on my walk this evening. They are dried and would make a great arrangement!
