I like to study and ID plants for medicinal purposes and for magickal purposes as well. I collect dry pieces of different plans for those reasons.

Help me identify this plant. This is YB#3. The flowers droop and the is very much alive. The leaves are not smooth, they are slightly rough in texture.

Hi Kelly, this looks like Cape Gooseberry, Physalis peruviana

@bensgarden your absolutely correct, it's a #physalis. Thanks so much. They kept growing in the water. It wasn't until I saw the lantern forming that I realized what it was.

You’re welcome Kelly! The lanterns are very interesting, especially that one which stays on the plant a long time. I’ll tag you on my feed with photo how it looks like next season.
