Lanthorn, also known as Chinese Lantern (Physalis alkekengi), is a striking botanical element recognized for its vibrant, papery husks that encase a small berry—resembling glowing lanterns in shades of orange, red, or golden amber. These lantern-like pods add bold color and sculptural form to arrangements, especially in autumnal, dried, or festive floral designs.

Whether used fresh or dried, Lanthorn symbolizes protection, warmth, and seasonal transition, making it a favorite for harvest displays, rustic bouquets, and botanical art.
