A late-blooming purple ground cherry native to CO, Quincula lobata, usually finished by end of July - maybe it was inspired by all the rain last week! Monotypic, meaning it's the only species in its genus. The bell-shaped calyx of sepals under the flower enlarges as the fruit matures resembling a lantern and giving the plant another common name, Chinese lantern. Not to be confused with the exotic plant from SE Asia also called Chinese lantern, Physalis alkekengi. Another example of the importance of scientific names!
