Ground Cherries, Cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana)


As a child, my father called these Chinese lantern plants because of their fruit pods resembling them. I photographed this on August 17, 2025, near Three Rivers, MI.

    That is really pretty. I remember seeing those when I lived in the country as a child. Good job!
