Impatiens
Looks gigantic here but actually a small bloom about an inch in diameter, the Impatiens is a genus of about 850 to 1000 species of flowering plants that are widely distributed throughout the Northern Hemisphere. In the middle of the flower, as seen in this photograph, is a seed capsule. When this capsule matures it will literally explode when touched shooting the seeds inside several yards away. The bright red flowers in the background of this photograph are begonia.

i had no idea that jewelweed was related to impatiens. i'd always thought Impatiens walleriana was a very ugly flower, but i'm willing to forgive it a lot for seed pods that go SPOING!

Many gardeners know of Impatiens walleriana, the species that lies behind the myriad colorful garden varieties that brighten up containers, window boxes, and shady spots throughout the world. The genus Impatiens is enormous, comprising over a thousand species—many of which, although highly desirable, remain lilttle known to Western gardeners. Raymond Morgan first examines Impatiens through a botanical lens, describing their physiology, morphology, and seed dispersal mechanisms. He then recounts Victorian-era plant-hunting forays into the Himalayas and notes how modern-day expeditions, with due concern to conservation, continue to bring back species that will eventually find their way into nursery catalogs and gardens. Perhaps most excitingly, the author describes over 200 species ranging from Madagascar, Sri Lanka, and the Himalayas to New Guinea. Along the way the reader is acquainted with remarkable species, including the giant African Impatiens tinctoria, which grows to 6 feet tall, and Tibet's ultramarine I. nanchabarwensis, which grows in the deepest canyon on earth. The genus Impatiens contains a wealth of untapped treasures for gardeners. With wonderful photographs complementing the detailed plant descriptions, this book is essential reading for curious-minded gardeners keen to unearth this fascinating and largely unexplored genus.
