These are commonly called Chinese Lanterns and they fascinate me. The berries are so vibrant inside these gentle papery lanterns. Unfortunately, whilst they are attractive in the garden they also spread everywhere and I find myself digging them up frequently, but they are always back again. Neither Bill or I are very skilled in gardening, Bill digs up the flowers and leaves the weeds and when he is not doing that he drives his small tractor and trailer all across the lawns. Hey ho, I am no better so cant grumble.
