Very nifty. Funny about their being toxic, we can buy Physalis in punnets in the fruit section of the supermarket. Probably a different variety.

Hi Vern.
Very nice colors.
From the Web:
"But beware the unripe berries of Chinese lanterns (Physalis alkekengi): they're toxic! But that's not surprising, considering Chinese lanterns are in the nightshade family, no stranger to toxicity. Other toxic plants in the nightshade family include bittersweet nightshade and angel's trumpet.

Chinese lanterns are perennials hardy to zone 4. Spreading via underground rhizomes, Chinese lanterns can be invasive. Many people grow Chinese lanterns for use in fall crafts."
