Another very interesting addition to the curiously spectacular plant life that we have on earth. The Chinese Lantern Plant are usually used in Halloween and Thanksgiving decorations since they have orange pods.What is interesting about this plant however is that it is seen as a symbol of 'life within death'. It blooms in the winter season. That is when it looks orange, and when it drys up in the spring, the outer lantern shape pod becomes skeletally transparent, revealing the bright red fruit that lives inside. It is very apparent why this plant is used for decorative purposes. It is quite unique in it's design.
