Common name: Balsam, Garden balsam, Rose balsam, Spotted snapweed, Touch-me-not
The plant has thick stem and spiky edged green leaves. I read that it is called touch-me-not because the ripe seed pods burst when touched. The flowers are pretty, almost like that of a rose. There are different colours – I have seen only pink, white and violet.
Native to South – East Asia.
Botanical name: Impatiens balsamina Family: Balsaminaceae (Balsam family)
Very beautiful. Liked your blog. Keep it up and keep posting.
Thank you.
Oh I luv these flowers and the colour is beautiful!
This is my favourite balsom. The flowers look like miniature roses and the pastel pink colour is so sweet.
Yes, they do look like miniature roses, don’t they? Lovely pink too…. I agree with you and Swaram.
