I love these plants.
A couple years ago, I was at wandering by a friend's house and noticed she had some in her garden. Graciously, she gave me some stems.
These are Chinese Lantern plants, and when I was very young, my grandmother had some in her garden. 
When I was a bit older, there was a patch of them in the woods near our house. 
Now, you hardly see them anymore... which I suppose is good as they are not native, 
and fairly  invasive. But... I still like them 😏
