An Iluminated Chinese Lantern - Preston
The Chinese Lantern is a wonderfully old fashioned variety of plant. I grew up having them in the garden, so on the rare occasions I see their brilliant red, yellow, orange, magenta or white flowers, I am always drawn to them and they remind me of my childhood.
The Chinese Lantern is usually found in regions covering southern Europe, northeast and southeast Asia, and it can be cultivated in more temperate climates. Alternatively named the Strawberry Tomato, or the Japanese Lantern, the Winter Cherry, or the Bladder Cherry, the Chinese Lantern is capable of holding out at temperatures below minus twenty degrees centigrade.
