Groundcherries

While working outside last weekend when it was so warm, I found these two ground cherries. All that's left of the husks is the veins but the "cherries" are still as fresh looking as ever. I don't know what species of Physalis these are but they're one of the perennial weedy kinds that are native to this area. I clipped the husk off of the one on the right so you could see the fruit better.
