A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Plants and Flowers Forum Chinese Lanterns

I finally got out there and moved the chinese lanterns around. Two large ones have escaped the raised bed but they are right next to an old wooden fence post and I think they look good there so I'm going to leave them. I'm hoping that they will get really tall this year so I'll have good stocks on the seed pods when they dry. That way I can put them in my tall vase.

You can tell I'm excited can't you?

They were a childhood treasure so I love them for their look and because they remind me of good times. I can't wait to see what kind of a harvest I get of them this winter.

Remember a couple of years ago or maybe last year my brain is gone I had those pop up in my vege garden. I posted a picture on here because I had no idea what they were. If they show up again I can send seeds if you want.

I'm in good shape for them now. Thankyou for the offer Bestofour. It just took some work to finally get them to sprout.
