    I took a number of piccies of this with all manner of backgrounds and with different exposures. I found this silhouette an interesting way of looking at the subject.
    Here you can see the dark and backlit pic of the subject.

    Wanna guess what is shown here?

    You guys are clever cloggs aren't you.
    NETTY--you got that right without hesitation or a tone of certainty. Well done you.

    EILEEN-- I know you so well, that I was sure that you would know it...Netty was just quicker this time.

    Way to go, 2OF !

    There you have the answer, Ronni.

    BTW-- the Latin name for Chinese Lantern " is, Physalis alkekengi
