    I wonder if anyone can identify a shrub for me please. It is about 10ft high in a friends garden with small yellow flowers [rather like a "ladyslipper"] which become the papery lanterns containing the seeds; the foliage is rather like maidenhair fern only larger. I want to try growing the seeds.
    Thanks for your help ..............
    [I wish I could work out how to upload a photo!]
