Oh, these slugs!
ReplyDeleteBut as the lanterns they look nice, Sue.
Can't blame the slugs this time Nadezda, no berries formed and the lanterns have just decomposed naturally
DeleteIs this the Inca Berry, or the Cape Gooseberry as I know it, or is it a Chinese Lantern? I love the little lanterns when they turn all lacy like this.
ReplyDeleteThey are Inca berries Jo but no berries developed
DeleteThey are, Jo
ReplyDeleteThose husks are really pretty. Sad you didn't get the fruit though.
ReplyDeleteYes it would have been good even just to have a taste, Daphne
DeleteI wonder why there were no berries?
ReplyDeleteNo idea what happened, Jessica the plants grew well enough, Maybe they were planted too late.
DeleteAssuming that the Inca Berry is the same as Physalis, I grew those once. I did get some berries, but they were small and the yield was too meagre to make them an attractive proposition as a crop.
ReplyDeleteThey are, Mark.I wonder whether we should have grown them like tomatoes rather than in open ground.
DeleteI just LOVE these. What pretty decorations they are. I must grow some, but are they invasive?
ReplyDeleteThey are very flimsy swefling, Maybe spraying them silver of cold would strengthen them
DeleteWe call it as Ciplukan, and we use to eat the ripe fruit as a healthy snack. Here this plant is used to treat high blood pressure and diabetes.
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting, Endah
DeleteBeautiful close up.
ReplyDeleteThank you Elaine.
DeleteNow I wonder why the berries didn't form? Gorgeous lanterns though!xxx
ReplyDeleteThe plants themselves grew well, Dina, I'm putting it down to a poor August and late planting.
DeleteI love these ... must get seeds.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are more successful in getting them to fruit, Patricia,
