A glut of Chinese lanterns

These lanterns provide some prettty Autumn colour, but they are very dificult to control. Every year I dig some out but each year they multiply! They originally came from my Mum-in-law's garden.
Up date: Grandad (aka hubbie Peter) came out of hospital on Tuesday, then was back in the next morning for an MRI scan.
They discovered a blood clot on his lung, and an infection,so he has lots of medication!
He's feeling much better now, but still very tired.

What a lovely bit of autumn colour and worth the maintenance for this result.
Sorry to hear your news and glad he is ok.

Such a lovely Autumnal plant to have in the garden ! I had some plants once and after the lanterns I pulled the whole plants up ,not realising that they not just annuals !! Sorry to hear Peter's news - I hope all will be sorted and perhaps medication - he will feel better soon ! 🙏

It does seem that lots of pretty things are the quickly spreading kind. Hope hubbie continues to improve.

I do like these, even though they are invasive. Glad hubby is feeling better.

The fruits remind me very much of gooseberries, but i guess they're not edible. Good news that your husband is on the mend.

Oh dear poor Peter! Best wishes for a speedy full recovery!
I love these little lanterns quite fascinating looking all puffed up like that.

They look beautiful. David had pulmonary embolism with multiple clots in his lung during lockdown. Luckily, he was able to be treated quickly, and he is fine again now. That part of his lung is dead but again luckily he has large lungs.
