Japanese lantern

Known as bell, Chinese lantern and cardinal hat, this flower is the delicacy in the form of a plant. Incidentally, the name expresses what it is visually speaking.

It has often been compared to a bell or balloons. Its flowering, although it occurs _____ the whole year, is more common in spring and summer.
