Question

unknown plant   Hi, I bought a packet of seeds and as it turned out this is the only one that grew.  I've seen it before but I don't remember what it is called.  Can you help please?

Answer
Hi Cheryl,
It's common name is Balsam (impatiens balsamina).  It's an old, victorian garden plant.  It's related to impatiens walleriana, the wild jewelweed (i. capensis), New Guinea impatiens, etc.  It had several uses in folk medicine and recent studies show there is some basis.  It's common name of "touch me not" comes from the way that the seed pods explode to distribute their seed.
Thanks,
Susan
