Description
These plants appeared in my garden after sprouting from a packet of Thompson and Morgan seeds labelled as something quite different!
They are an alien invader but very pretty. I have to take drastic measures every season to keep them in check, as they could take over. The plants are very large and vigorous. read all about it here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicandra
I have posted a pic of before the skeleton is exposed by molluscs Here

Incredible shot!
GORGEOUS close up. HA! It wouldnt grow in my garden, because the grass and the hops took over.
A very nice shot but I think we won't buy any of these !!
Super close up!!
Splendid lighting and details! Great photo! :)
love this time of the year when skeletons come out to play
It's a beauty and the fruit inside looks edible, It looks like a Chinese lantern :)
Delightful shot! I thought once the slugs have made a hole they would head for the fruit, but its in a wire cage ingenious!
good shot!!
Splendidly gorgeous in all facets of photography.
I do like the way these look! So delicate and mysterious. Beautiful photograph!
A lovely comparison between the two photos. I enjoyed the zoom on this version!
Fascinating invader!
Very good capture
Gorgeous. I learn so much from your posts.
wonderful looking
Nicandra Seedhead. Sounds like a Hippy girl I once knew. Alan has a point, a skeletal seed head just in time for Halloween. It is a beautiful skeleton with such delicate lace and a superb capture.
Superb capture Andrea. God bless.
Great capture
Oh i love the design of this plant awesome.
Very elegant capture.
I would love to have these growing in my garden! This is so lovely!

It reminds me of a cape gooseberry the orange things in there own little paper bags that are delicious to eat..
We have them too, Andrea. And your capture is fantastic, as the POV is great too!
Just like Grandma doilies pattern, so very delicate in appearance and simply organic ! BB
Really decorated! And very well captured...
