Last Sept on vacation to Germany I noticed that some restuarants had orange bulbus pods in brandy sniffers for decorations. The pods had a almost paper quality like a Japanese Lantern with a single seed in it. Can anyone help me identify it from this discription. Thanks leecomb

A Chinese Lantern Plant is like that. Did it look like the following?


Attachment 6469

I have chinese lanterns in my garden. It comes in seed packets in garden centers. The first year I only had a few short leaves, the second year more leaves and taller. This year (the 3rd) I have lots and lots of leaves with these pretty little orange lanterns all over.
I wish you good luck and patiens!
