Good morning GTers! My Chinese Lantern plant is starting to produce berries! This is just one of the images in my weekly photo #blog which you can see at the following link if you're interested - www.bigemrg.co.uk/blog/latest Have a great day everyone! 😀

Love these! And that’s a beautiful pic 🧡

@ukgardentags - Ooh exciting! Thank you! 😀

Afternoon Ian @bigemrg Wow now this is what us GTs have been missing your Stunning pics & you of course that goes without saying. Hope your having a lovely day Ian 👌

@jadojado29 - Aww thanks Suzie! Hope you're having a good afternoon! 😀

Afternoon Ian, stunning photo 👍👍

Seeing as though it's #white theme day I thought I'd do a bit of plant cataloguing of images I've not uploaded yet! This was a surprising one for me as I didn't realise Chinese Lantern plants actually produced flowers! 😀 #physalis

Super photo

@kathy - Thanks Kathy! They're quite difficult to photograph as they hide between the leaves of the plant! 😀

Just updating my plant database again! My Chinese Lantern plant has decided to put on a growth spurt in the last couple of days! 😀 #physalis

You've just reminded me that I'd like one of these! 👍

@SylviaDavies - I've wanted one for ages, and even have seeds to sow, but couldn't resist picking up a very small plant when I saw it at the GC last year! It promptly withered away and I thought I'd lost it, but here it is, looking ten times the size and very healthy! 😀

Ah right! I may have got rid of mine sooner than I should! @bigemrg

That's what happened to mine. It's just showing signs of life now, although not as much as yours 👍

@susanhumphrey333 - Fantastic Sue! Having not grown them before I wasn't sure what to expect! 😀

These are lovely but get everywhere ☺

@titchyfra - Yes, I've read that they can be invasive! Mine is in a pot although I'd rather have it running wild in the garden than the horsetail grass that I currently have! 😀
