Chinese Lanterns


They start out as tiny white flowers (top), then form seed pods, then turn deep orange. They're well on their way- another sign of fall. These will look awesome in the house.

Chinese Lanterns

This was a tiny, hopeless looking thing that we got via mail order this spring. Look at 'er now! Those seed pods will turn orange in the fall. I read about a lady who used to cut a tiny slit in the side of the pod and then insert fireflies. I'd love to do that but we're too far north- I think the fireflies will be long gone by then.
