autumn decay
I think Chinese Lantern is such a cool looking plant. Unfortunately, it's one of those plants that goes crazy and will take over if you let it.
When I first got here to the farm, it had taken over most of the flowerbeds up around the house....along with bee balm and mint, two other incredibly invasive plants!
I ripped most of it out, however it still crops up here and there, and I let it go in a couple of spots. These pods always fascinate me, especially when they start to decay and you can see the delicate "skeleton" and the bright orange berry inside.
