Glorious!!! and so very different from our chinese lantern Physalis, used frequently in dry flower arrangements. Yours is equally as beautiful and a wonderful colour. hugs

oh I love these blossom, I have one in the yard and several growing from bits I have broken off a as I potter about [tiny as yet] .mine grows too tall because we have extensive bush gumtrees and they all fight for the light.also I have a yellow pasionfruit vine which climbs up it all the time and I have to keep telling it ..no! naughty ! get back on the fence
