It's July. Most of the plants that are going to flower have already done so. But there are pretty leaves, fruit, and perhaps other such plant parts. Redbuds are small trees, and members of the pea family -- note the pods and the seeds inside them.
Isn't God a great artist? Thanks for looking.
We planted three small perennial plants of Physalis alkekengi, (aka bladder cherry, Chinese lantern, Japanese-lantern, strawberry ground cherry, or winter cherry). I love the cheery orangish lantern-shaped paper-like pod or husk around each bright round seed.
Photographed these little lanterns this morning outside in the dew. Each about 4–5 cm/1.57-1.97 inch long and broad. NOT lens distortion—the plant dried and squished into the ground.

It was the winner of an international competition for panopticons organised in 2003.

Captured this with three RAW shots at -2..0..+2 EV. Digital blending in Photoshop CS6. I increased the overall saturation with Hue/Saturation in Photoshop. Curve adjustment to increase the overall contrast. 1 layer mask in soft light mode at 50% gray, using brush tool to lighten and darken some areas of the image, to bring out details. Topaz DeNoise to reduce noise. Topaz Clarity for additional boost in color and contrast.
