Apologies for the lack of response! I haven't visited this page for a long time.
I found that if you leave the lantern on dry soil to rot, then at some stage, it will achieve the transparent-like effect. I assume that if you leave it there longer, it will completely rot.
You know you can eat them right?? They're not as sweet as their cousin, the physalis peruviana, a bit more tart, but that can make really good jelly! Beautiful video!!!
I didn't do anything to them. They changed themselves in the garden. I photographed them under the evening sunlight, which turned out to be much better than I envisaged.
@sajeevan1 You can eat them, but they are a bit more tart than physalis peruviana, so maybe a jelly or jam would be better. You can plant them in the garden, but I would prefer a pot because it can take over!
The color of Chinese Lanterns here in Vancouver is tangerine-orange, seemed I did not ever see any of them in strawberry red. The tempo & rhythm of the guitar is soothing & tranquil : A beautiful piece of work that seems whispering to this feeble flora , glorifying the wonder & color of nature. From David.
@OneArmBear The tangerine orange one is not the chinese lantern , that is the Wonderberry/Goldenberry/Capegooseberry/Groundcherry (physalis peruviana), it has allot of names! Super good for your health!!! Try one.
This is my first time to have a close up view of the Chinese Lantern. It's quite amazing. Alexander's guitar background music is also beautiful. Thanks for sharing your gardening hard work with us.

我將它風乾已經兩年，由原來的鮮橙色變成淡啡色，但是並沒有變成透明網膜可以看到裡面的種子，請問你是否將它加工過？

不知是否英國天氣潮溼，外面那層葉腐爛了，剩下筋膜。加拿大天氣乾燥，不會變成這樣。
我見到youtube的影片golden berry，和這chinese lantern 很相似，但golden berry可以吃。不知道chinese lantern可吃嗎？

Alexander played his important part, but credit of the music should mainly go to Tim Whitnell, Alexander's guitar teacher.
