Cape Gooseberry

placed on a mirror with a decayed leaf. My bush is thriving and they are falling off. I noticed that they only get the lacy skeleton if they stay on the ground for quite a while. The picked ones do not.

It is very much appreciated :-)

@k9photo Rather strange Kate, neither inner nor outer part decays. The berry is still edible and the case turns lacy. I must have picked it up about six weeks ago and it still looks the same. I am sure that the berry will decay at some stage though :-)

[Diana]

@merrelyn How do you find your lacy cases Merrelyn, also just laying under the bush? I find this all so intriguing ;-)

[Mary Siegle]

Very nice! So delicate looking.

[Kathy A]

Wonderful shot, fabulous reflections

[Valerie Chesney]

So very lovely/

[Merrelyn]

@ludwigsdiana Yes generally they are just laying under the bush. Sometimes the berry has already gone by he time I find hem.

[Esther Rosenberg]

beautifully composed

[amyK]

Nicely composed shot

[Kate]

@ludwigsdiana It would be neat to see a time-lapse video of the transformation.

@k9photo That really would be great Kate :-)
