Description
These spectacular seed containers are so beautiful, but I have to try to get rid of them before the fruit opens and fills the garden next year with this alien and inedible invader.
Each seed makes an enormous plant three or four feet high and the same wide!
They arrived in my garden via a seed packet that was meant to contain the edible Physalis: I have never trusted Thompson and Morgan since!

Wild looking. Have never seen one before.
Superb capture Andrea. God bless.
Beautiful Star... Aloha
As you say a very pretty pod and a super picture but no thanks!!
Wow this is something i do not know about but this is unique in every way i love this.
Love these little parcels!!
fantastic sharpness; cool capture
Ha, so you got the wrong plant, but a very decorative one, Andrea. A nice Christmas decoration, my friend.
what a filigree! beautiful done with light!
Great shot and as Priska has just said the filigree does look beautiful
A fascinating seed structure!!
Definitely alien looking Great capture
So Lovely
Beautiful capture Andrea.
A marvel of nature. Excellent shot, fantastic details.
OH I wouldnt mind having such in my garden... They are too cute. One could spray tem with gold and use them for Christmas :) Wonderful shot :)
It's beautiful, and the light is gorgeous. I'll enjoy it with no guilt, knowing I don't have to yank them out myself. :P Wonderful photography!
They may be of the invaders, but they are very nice to look at! Gorgeous lighting and capture! :)
An incredible plant form and wonderful photograph.Too bad the fruit is inedible.
It looks very much like my favourite fruit Physalis but the pod is different, these grow from fruit bought at the supermarket.
Love this meticulously created abstract version of a starfish, Andrea. Capital display of gridwork, contrast and lighting. And still yet another candidate in the Invasion of the Body Snatchers genre!
Great capture.. these could be sprayed silver and hung on a tree at xmas unless they are toxic... interesting.
I'd love to have these! What a beautiful thing!
What a delicate protective container from the fruit. Lovely patterns also!
Send Thompson and Morgan a thank you letter from your friends at Renderosity. These are gorgeous and so unique. Too bad they are so much trouble.
It looks very interesting but best to grow it somewhere else!
xlt lighting
Wonder where these plants originate from? Gorgeous seed pods! We've a few plants that have invaded here, too. One is a form of loosestrife, pretty plant, tall with a spike of flowers, but hugely invasive with nothing that eats it, no insects bother it, no animals either. So it flourishes in the wet lands and crowds out all the native plants.
Simply breathtaking, a-la-natural is best ! - but when I see something like that I get the urge to take the paintbrush out and 'improve' it ;P I must get a seed, when I come and visit (?) - they probably won't let me get through custom with it ! BB
