I do too. Do you know that it is a perennial in warmer climates? I sure did not know that and was surprised when it came back on it's own this year. The seeds are cute too.

actualy we feed the critters around here and they put it there and I never took out,, I have corn growing everywhere I dont want it to,, and millett thanks to the critters.. we use screws to put the cobs on so they dont steal them , but after ther done eating them we put in bucket and they take them out of there, its funny watching a tiny chipmunk carry the huge corn cob !! we made a 4 layer feeding station in the tree,, they love it

We have a native vine that grows here in Texas that we call "pop weed". It looks about the same, but I've seen some seed in the store of "Chinese Lantern" that turns an orangy color before it seeds. Thats why I was asking, is it the same as I have or is it the Chinese Lantern?

Dee, this is also called Balloon Vine (cardiospermum halicacabum) and has the cutest seeds. They have a white heart embossed on the black seed. I have some seeds if you would like some. The leaves are like parsley leaves. Very dainty.

I just love them, tiny blooms and the seed pods are the puffs
