The flight of the painted busy lizzie

I had to bring it inside to allow the buds to from and eventually bloom, but this species Impatiens from Africa has captured my attention.

My original plant came from Mr. Impatiens himself, Derick Pitman, but I also got a start from deGro Flower and Garde Nursery here in Puyallup, Washington.








Too tired to write up a wordy post. Check out this website for more gorgeous pics and information about this rare plant.
