Can anyone tell me what this is?

I am captivated by this plant where the central seed is like a heart.  Does anyone know what it is?

Edited to add: Thanks to all who commented or emailed that this is the Chinese lantern.  I might have to grow some someday!

    Thanks Laura! BTW: We are getting very excited about your upcoming wedding. We may even be child free for it, which means I can have a lot more fun at the reception!
