Common name: Balsam, Garden balsam, Rose balsam, Spotted snapweed, Touch-me-notThe 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)
