My Wandering Eye

These are still so rich looking.
It is more like a Halloween theme, but I didn't get a shot of them until now.
The common name is Chinese Lanterns.
If you visit here, you can learn the Proper (hard to remember) Latin name
 and more about this plant-
like the fact it is related to the tomato plant

    No, I don't think they are related to pumpkins but they do look like mini ones but are actually paper-like in texture.
    If you go to the link in the post it will take you to another link which tells you that they are related to the tomato plant.
