Plant of the Day

Monday 27 January 2025

The vigorous herbaceous perennial Physalis alkekengi (Chinese lantern, alkegengi, bladder cherry, strawberry-and-tomato, winter cherry) is grown for the inflated, lantern-like deep orange calyces that develop after the small creamy-yellow flowers. Left on the plant the ‘lanterns’ eventually form a papery skeleton around the red berry. This plant will grow in any well-drained soil in sun or partial shade but it can become invasive though in my experience it can be hard to establish.

THE DOOMED & STONED SHOW

~Season 6, Episode 41~

Brant Bjork's manager Doctor Ryan Jones (and organizer of Stoned and Dusted Festival) joins us to talk about a killer new project his California Desert Wizards Association is cooking up for January -- Live in the Mojave Desert Volumes 1-5, featuring live pro-shot sets from Earthless, Nebula, Mountain Tamer, and Spirit Mother (all of whom we'll hear exclusive new live tracks from) -- and that's just the tip of the iceberg!

After a brief but dramatic cat fight in Billy Goate's lair (Doomed & Stoned), Ryan decides to stick around with John Gist (Vegas Rock Revolution) to see just how wild this party can get! Lots of new music and Billy goes crazy with the cover songs again. You won't want to miss the first new episode of December!
