Chinese lanterns

I've been cutting some of these down today. They are pretty but also very invasive. Now that they are turning into skeletons we can see the berries which, if left will grow into many more plants.

Such a beautiful capture of the different stages. They look so much like our edible Cape gooseberries. I love the skeletons.
