Blogging Tip - Add a background colour to individual posts

I love them, they are so beautiful. Each fruit has a husk which looks like a little paper lantern casing, they're really quite magical, you may have heard them called Chinese Lanterns. The fruits of the plant I had in the first few years were prolific and the plant would grow vigorously almost all year, needing regular chopping back to stop it bursting out through broken panes in the greenhouse. Once the Physalis peruviana lanterns turn from lime green to a papery cream colour they are ripe and can be picked, or snipped. The fruits don't ripen once picked ...
