Ground Cherry Golden Husk (Physalis pruinosa)
This generous vegetable plant offers us a sweet and fragrant fruit which is a fresh delight, in jam, in sauce, or in pies. Like Chinese lanterns, it is wrapped in a protective envelope. When the fruit is ripe, the husk comes off and the little golden globes are ready to be harvested.
