Balsam (Impatiens)






Doing a little research on this flower, I discovered that Impatiens actually have a medicinal purpose in that extracted substances from it can be used on bee stings. Some species of this plant is used in hair dyes, henna coloring for tattoo's and fingernail polish, I planted several of these in amongst my Hostas. They add a slight punch of color.
