We have a beautiful annual that grows prolifically on our wet southwest coast. The bees go nuts on this from about August until frost or cold weather kills it down come the middle of October. It is a great fall nectar and pollen plant. It is very cool to watch the bees enter the flower and come out all happy. LOL. It likes to grow in mucky, wet soil, in shadey spots. It started years ago along the edge of the top of our ravine and has migrated quickly thoughout the years to behind the horse barns, where I think it will stop, because the shadiness stops there. It grows about 5 feet tall, is very succulent with hollow stems. It is a very tricky plant to try and get seed from, if anyone has ever tried to save seed from any type of impatiens, the moment you come near to touch it it flies out probably about 10 feet, never to be had again. But I have discovered a way to trick the plant, so I have gathered seed and will try to get it to the back of my property where again it is shadey and mucky. We will see. The more late season that can be provided for the girls, certainly the better. Does wild impatiens grow anywhere else, I'm sure it does, but I would be interested to hear. Great day. Cindi
