Actually, I found out that this plant's popular name is Lampionblume/Chinese Lanterns. They sure looked like little pumpkins to me!

Unusual and very pretty "pods". I don't think they would hold up to a good carving though - lol. Well depicted.

Not pumpkins, but Chinese lanterns !!!!!
They do look like paper Chinese bulb shades. I do not know their name in Polish either ...
But they are very very charming !

THE CAMERA'S ONLY JOB is to get out of the way of making photographs. It's entirely an artist's eye, patience, and skill that makes an image. ~Ken Rockwell VISIT MY GALLERY
Perfect description both mentally and physically. If the mind can conceive, the eye will notice and the brain will get it done. I would give credit to who said this but I think I just made it up. Mr. Dillon said it better in less words. The green leaves, getting ready to turn, the yellow leaf and the orange ones sure make a nice fall photo. Good job PJ

I have only ever know this as Chinese Lantern.
Such a pretty plant - well done PJ. The colour is perfect, and how well the blooms contrast with the foliage.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

Very good shot of these Pat...Cyndee is right they are called Chimese Lanterns...I have some in my garden...and they really spread!!...gerry

Life is the pits sometimes, but God and your friends are always there to help you through it.
Do you have some psychic problem with pumkins my friend ? Actually it is your favorite subject. Kidding. You're right these leafs seem to be some young pumkins. A great image.

The light you've got in this shot is truly wonderful PJ. Fantastic clarity too. Little pumpkins they may be, or Chinese lanterns. Very good this, almost looks 3d.

Haunted cereal in the morning.
Definitely does look like my favorite pie ingredient!! This shot makes me kinda hungry...is that weird? Anyway...this is a really nice representation of the change in seasons...you've got the literal change from green to orange/yellow and figurative change from summer to autumn and Halloween and thanksgiving. Very cool!!

My grandmother used to call these Chinese Lanterns. Pic the leaves off and they`re great as dried flowers. This is a great shot of a colourful subject.

Several of my photos are available for purchase in larger format at Shutterpoint, and some are also available in high quality framed prints at http://djholmes.imagekind.com/
Jan is right these are commonly known as Chinese lanterns, They are very unique, but very invasive (know by experience), and very hard to get rid of. Great shot and the color combination is very striking...
