Description
TAA WATERMARK WILL NOT APPEAR ON FINAL SALE These impatiens are so red, they are almost on fire! They were growing in small shopping center in Maggie Valley, North Carolina. The area is so picturesque that I didn't have enough time to take all the pictures I wanted. Just a beautiful area.
This flower has a number of common names in North America including impatiens, jewelweed, touch-me-not, snapweed and patience. As a rule-of-thumb, "jewelweed" is used exclusively for Nearctic species, and balsam is usually applied to tropical species. In the British Isles by far the most common names are impatiens and busy lizzie, especially for the many varieties, hybrids and cultivars involving Impatiens walleriana. “Busy lizzie” is also found in the American literature. The invasive alien Impatiens glandulifera is commonly called Policeman's helmet in the UK. (Wikipedia)
