Thanks for the picture. I haven't been able to get the plant growing here. Going to try again next year.

Just got a new macro lens on my camera and took this of one of the mayriad of CL's growing in my garden. Its October ('06) here and the plants are getting that wonderful orange colour. Don't know what to do with them, though. They get these tiny tomato-like fruits inside eventually. Any suggestions? Enjoy

If you like dried flower arrangements, just pick the stalks, put them in a vase inside to dry. The lanterns last forever and the colour stays quite bright too. (Happy Thanksgiving Day to you!) :)
