Hi Kathy,

Are you sure your impatiens is the capensis (jewelweed)? That is listed as generally having orange flowers & is common in the eastern part of the U.S.

A similar impatiens with colors in the pink-to-purple range is I. glandulifera (policeman's helmet). I am always pulling & destroying seedlings of that...it's on the King Co. (others too?) noxious weed list. Here are links that may be helpful:

They're pretty....but....!!!!

As I Googled around on this, I've found that the I. glandulifera also has the nickname "ornamental jewelweed", which tends to confuse it with the I. capensis "jewelweed".

Patrick,
Thanks for the information. It looks like what you found now I am confused! I was given them last year in a trade and was told it was Poorman's orchid. When I looked it up on the web I found it listed as Impatiens Capensis. looking at pictures. What you found makes me worry. I dont want to promote weeds!!!!

So everyone sorry I will NOT be giving this out!

thanks again Patrick!
