Plant of the Day
Wednesday 4 October 2023
In autumn Physalis alkekengi var. franchetii (Chinese lantern) produce orange-scarlet berries enclosed by papery, red lanterns. The plants thrive in a well-drained soil, they can be difficult to establish but can also be considered invasive. A new cultivar I recently saw at a plant sale was Physalis alkekengi var. franchetii ‘Monstrosum’ with fruits that have been transformed into bizarre, contorted orange chilli-like structures.

I would give you all the oranges in the world. So you could squish your thumbs in the middle, let the smell explode in your whole house and as you taste the love the earth made for you - because oranges are grown for you alone. You might see how your love explodes and expands so everyone can smell it and they're all looking around and asking, "who is eating an orange in here?"
