Touch-me-not Balsam
How to bloom a touch-me-not
Touch-me-not is an annual plant of the genus Impatiens in the family Impatiens, and is widely distributed in Eurasia and North America. The flowers are long and tubular. The flowers bloom as if they were fishing from under the leaves.
Touch-me-nots and honey-sucking insects
Touch-me-not foxes have many deep flowers, so honey-sucking insects with long straws prefer to gather. Large bees such as carpenter bees and bees flies sneak into the flowers and collect nectar.
Touch-me-not is a closed flower
Touch-me-not is a closed flower that bears fruit by self-pollination while the flower is closed. Seeds are formed before the buds are formed and the flowers bloom. And when you touch the bulge, it pops like a balsam and the seeds scatter.
Touch-me-not flower language
The flower language of the touch-me-not is “Don’t touch me,” “Comfort,” “Expectations,” “Relax your mind,” and “I want to get angry.” Of these, “Don’t touch me” is because the seeds pop. The scientific name noli-tangere also means “don’t touch”.
Difference from Impatiens textori
Touch-me-not fox and Impatiens textori have similar flower shapes, and both prefer a slightly damp and dim place. The distinction is that the touch-me-not is yellow, while the impatiens is pink. There are also differences such as whether the tip of the distance is hanging or winding.
