Found this in the garden - much better than anything I'm going to find in the bauble department at John Lewis.
(Physalis is a genus of flowering plants in the nightshade family (Solanaceae), which grow in warm temperate and subtropical regions of the world. Like Newcastle in the North of England...?!)
... fresh Physalis in their husks. Both to eat and to photograph!
Physalis is characterised by the small orange fruit similar in size, shape and structure to a small tomato, but partly or fully enclosed in a large papery husk derived from the calyx.
The berry also goes by the names Golden Strawberry,Chinese Lantern and Cape gooseberry.
Not all Physalis species bear edible fruit. Select species are cultivated for their edible fruit, however; the typical Physalis fruit is similar to a firm tomato in texture, and like strawberries or pineapple in flavour, with a mild acidity.
Physalis fruit is a good source of vitamin C, beta-carotene, iron, calcium and trace amounts of B vitamins.
These fruits contain 18 kinds of amino acids.
These berries are also abundant in polysaccharides, compounds that may help fortify the immune system.
Yes, Nature creates its own jewellery.
A skeleton of Physalis, the small shrivelled fruit captured inside the fine lacy filigreed petals.
PHYSALIS alkekengi or Chinese Lantern Plant, they are native from southern Europe east across southern Asia to Japan.
Popular for the papery bright-orange lantern pods that develop around the ripening fruit, these are often cut and used for Thanksgiving and Halloween arrangements.
Plants are aggressive spreaders, and best kept out of the perennial border so they don't take over.
Also can be grown in tubs.
Small white flowers appear in midsummer, over a bushy mound of coarse green leaves.
Pods are green at first, but should be harvested as soon as the orange colour develops, the leaves stripped then stems hung upside down to dry in a warm dark room.

STRANO MA VERO.
Il Physalis alkekengi, meglio conosciuto come Alchechengi Physalis, è una pianta erbacea appartenente alla famiglia delle Solanaceae. L’alchechengi è un frutto particolarmente apprezzato nel mondo orientale tanto per le sue qualità estetiche che per quelle nutritive. I frutti dell’alchechengi assomigliano esteticamente a un piccolo pomodoro di colore giallo e al tatto risultano untuosi. Queste bacche possono essere consumate fresche o essiccate.
La bacca di Alchechengi può essere utilizzata fresca o nella forma essiccata. Il frutto può essere utilizzato cotto come ingrediente per dolci, macedonie e dessert. La bacca, invece, può essere gustata cruda all’interno di insalate miste o macedonie. Il suo consumo crudo favorisce l’assorbimento di numerose vitamine, degli alcaloidi e di diversi principi attivi antiossidanti e antinfiammatori. Contenendo pectina, una miscela di acidi capaci di formare gel, è ideale per preparare marmellate o gelatine.

L’Alchechengi è il frutto della pianta Physalis alkekengi che appartiene alla famiglia delle Solanacee. Si tratta di piccole bacche che assomigliano un po’ a dei pomodorini raccolte in un involucro costituito da foglie molto sottili che gli danno il caratteristico aspetto di lanterne, vengono chiamate per questo “lanterne cinesi” e le piante si utilizzano anche per abbellire i giardini orientali.
La pianta dell’Alchechengi è originaria dell’Europa e dell’Asia. Il nome che gli è stato attribuito deriva dalla parola araba latinizzata “al-kakang” che vuole dire proprio lanterna cinese.
Queste bacche sono particolarmente diffuse soprattutto in Oriente dove si consumano frequentemente quando di stagione (fruttificano in autunno) e vengono apprezzate non solo per il gusto particolare ma anche per le loro proprietà nutrizionali ed effetti benefici sull’organismo.
Alchechengi is the fruit of the Physalis alkekengi plant which belongs to the Solanaceae family. These are small berries that look a bit like cherry tomatoes collected in a casing made up of very thin leaves that give them the characteristic appearance of lanterns, they are called for this "Chinese lanterns" and the plants are also used to embellish oriental gardens .
The Alchechengi plant is native to Europe and Asia. The name that has been attributed to it derives from the Latinized Arabic word “al-kakang” which means Chinese lantern.
These berries are particularly widespread especially in the East where they are frequently consumed when in season (they bear fruit in autumn) and are appreciated not only for their particular taste but also for their nutritional properties and beneficial effects on the body.

Wenn ich mal keine Kamera dabei habe, dann fotografiere ich schon mal mit dem Smartphone.
Das Foto entstand im Park des Johanniskrankenhauses Bielefeld wo ich mich für ein paar Tage aufhielt.
Surprise in our garden - no spring flower until now - but this nice find instead.

Überraschung im Garten - noch kein Frühblüher ist heraus - dafür dieser nette Fund.
Not actually a gooseberry but a relative of the tomato. More often used as a garnish on a desert here in Britain but they are also used in jams, jellies as well as in salads.
