Buddha's Lantern
I wonder if the plant is not Physalis franchetii var. Gigantea
This 1-2 foot perennial produces extremely decorative seed cases that
look like glowing orange paper lanterns.
this plant was commonly grown in Brooklyn, and i very much enjoyed
harvesting it because the orange paper lanterns were like
"everlasting" and did not fade or perish like cut flowers...
