You definitely put me on the right track. I believe you to be absolutely correct as far as genus being Physalis, of which, according to the wikipedia, Physalis alkekengi is the chinese Lantern. You may have the species right as well but there are some 75 - 90 species of Physalis and mine could be a weedy annual knock off instead of the real thing. Watching to see if they turn that beautiful color will tell the tale.
I Thank YOU so much for your help,
Nannette
