That's so delicate.
Looks like a little lantern.
Pretty colour, too.

The common name for this plant is 'Chinese Lantern'. Inside is a small, sweet berry sometimes served in a fruit salad

I've got lots of lanterns too. I saw them in the supermarket for sale as a fruit at a huge price. Are there different varieties because I assumed the ones in the shop must be a special edible type?

Chrispook I believe this is related to the Tomatillos that I am growing. I think they are called Jamberries. The fruit of the tomatillo is very tart and feels much like a tomato.
