It's always a pleasure to join Theresa (The Run-a-Round Ranch Report) for GOOD FENCES.

This week I am featuring this fence and it's accompanying vegetation.
These are Chinese Lantern Plants. I've loved these plants since I was a little girl and my aunt grew them at her place. I loved popping them open to see what was inside. These grow on some property that is a few blocks away and I go every year to check them out.
Aren't they fun and colorful. The red tones of the fence really look great with the bright orange fruit and the green leaves of the lantern plant.
Don't forget to stop by Theresa's blog and check out the other participants.
how very pretty! thanks, ida!
ReplyDeleteQuick we must hurry before the fence is completely covered in beautiful growths!
ReplyDeleteOh I think I have seen that plant before. I was fascinated by the flower pods. Thanks for the memory. Thank you too for visiting my Rural Illinois Good Fence.

Let's try again. I was told on my first comment that there was an error.

Very nice lantern plant flowers with the take of the fence.
ReplyDeleteFall look indeed.
This is truly lovely. The colours are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHi there! I'm finally home from my week in Alaska baby-sitting my daughter's two little girls. I'm worn out, but loved every minute of it! Your plants with that red fence made for some terrific photos!

ReplyDeleteI love chinese lanterns and they look like they definitely like it there!
ReplyDeleteLove it!! Gosh, it's been years since I've seen those plants. Used to make earrings out of them with sticky glue. Funny...how entertaining life was way back when.
ReplyDeleteGreat fences Ida.
Really lovely shots!
ReplyDeletelovely how nature wraps around fences
ReplyDeleteI don't recall seeing one of these plant in person, I'd be inclined to pop them open too. They look nice against the fence.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a Chinese Lantern plant, but those blooms really do look like lanterns. They look good up against the fence.
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers. They do look good growing by that fence.
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful! One of my favorites although I've never grown them. Maybe next year...

ReplyDeleteI love the lanterns plants. I saw some in Switzerland, but not with your awesome fence. I wish there were some way to make them glow in the dark ... wouldn't that be awesome? Nice shot, Ida ...

Ida, I have always LOVED those plants. Aren't they pretty against that fence! When I was a kid I like to open them up. They seemed so exotic! So did the money plant. Are you familiar with that?
ReplyDeleteThe Lanterns look so cute and pretty.
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI think there is a park here in Columbus that grows blue ones.

Pretty pictures! Oh yeah, I like these lanterns since my childhood too and since I have an own garden, I have lanterns there.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice and quiet weekend :-)
Didn't those plants have a berry of some sort in the lantern? Or am I getting mixed up with something else? Lovely fresh colours in these snaps.
ReplyDeleteDiana
