A couple of years ago, I planted a Lantern plant (Physalis franchetii). It’s in an east facing part of my garden that gets only a couple of hours of sunlight each day and was mostly barren. After 3 years, my plants are thriving.

They are beautiful little jewels.

but it’s whats inside that makes them even more special. A tiny, orange little sweet fruit. What a treat! I tried to plant Ground Cherries awhile back and they never matured in time. I’m just plain happy about my little plants.
