About it
A sprig of physalis, also called Chinese lantern or cape gooseberry, captured from photos and drawn with splats. Its fruit grows inside a papery husk that turns bright orange as it ripens; the husk is the plant's lantern and guards the berry.
Tap it and the stem sways and settles, its lanterns swinging with it. Drag to circle it and look at the thin veined husks and the green leaves above them.
