My Flower Entry: The Lantern-Like Beauty of Physalis | Flower Contest Week 21

Hi everyone
This is my entry for Week 21 of the Flower Contest hosted by @marcoteixeira. I took this photo from my dad's farm, and I wanted to share the beauty of this interesting plant called Physalis, some people call it ground cherry or cape gooseberry.

[My Photo Entry – Physalis Flower and Husk]

This flower caught my attention because of the way the flower is still hiding inside this papery green cover, like a lantern. The husk is light green with thin purple veins, and you can see a bright yellow flower bud starting to peek out. It’s like it is hiding waiting for the right time to open up.

I didn’t even know this plant had such beautiful stages until I saw it up close. Nature really knows how to wrap up its gifts in style.

What I love about it:

• The husk looks like it was hand-drawn, those purple lines are so detailed.

• The leaves are fresh and healthy, and after some rain, everything looks even more alive.

• The flower has not fully opened yet, but that makes it even more beautiful.

I will love to invite @sampson01, @us-andrew and @bessie2023 to participate in this contest.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my post. And big thanks to @marcoteixeira for organizing this contest.
