Description

The listing, Help Name These Flowers! LOL! has ended.

You get 20 seeds!

These flowers are so beautiful, I have them growing in my flower beds, and the seeds are ready to be harvested, I have already collected some but I have forgotten the name of these flowers. LOL!

I am adding some more pictures maybe this will help in naming them.

I had the first 7 pics listed from the begining, the rest are the new ones

So if you can help me by giving me some ideas, as to their names so I can properly list them I would greatly appreciate it, very much!

Thanks!

Fan me and I will fan you back, just comment that you have fanned and I will return the favor!

Questions & Comments

Shannon, I could be wrong but it looks like a type of iris

Aug 8th, 2012 at 10:27:06 AM PDT by

I don't think so the iris I am thinking about have 1 to about 3 blooms on a single stem with branch like splits for each of the blooms, this flower has a single stem with tons of small flowers about the size of a quarter going all the way down the stem with little tear shaped seed pods

ha, ha! my bad . . . "Touch"-Me Not

LOL!

Aug 16th, 2012 at 8:27:04 AM PDT by

and the botanical name is correctly spelled: Impatiens balsamina

Aug 16th, 2012 at 8:25:55 AM PDT by

also commonly called "Tocuh-Me-Not" ... due to how the seed pods explode open when touched. these annuals grow well in light or dappled shade locations, and will get along in part to full sun spots if the soil is kept consistenly moist. these self-seed very well and can become a nuisance to adjoining/nearby beds.

Aug 12th, 2012 at 7:43:17 AM PDT by

the more I look at those I am thinking something in the bellflower family

Aug 10th, 2012 at 12:13:12 PM PDT by

did you see the new pics I added? I thought you might could tell more about them if I singled out 1 flower

Aug 12th, 2012 at 6:52:23 AM PDT by

was wondering if it might be in the impatiens family?

Aug 10th, 2012 at 12:03:26 PM PDT by

I google impatients and pulled up the images from the left hand side of the page, and the blooms are totally different, and I don't see any of them with seed pods like mine, they might be in that family though because I seen a couple that had some leaves that were simular

how about a chinese foxglove or balloon flower?

Aug 10th, 2012 at 11:57:52 AM PDT by

I have some foxgloves

Aug 12th, 2012 at 7:36:33 AM PDT by

if they are indeed rhodens are they the drought tolerant kind?

Aug 10th, 2012 at 8:52:29 AM PDT by

These flowers do seem to be doing well even though we haven't had much rain this summer, and I haven't watered them, so they do well in full sun, or direct sunlight, the triple didget heat we have been having, and little to no water at all, I am really suprised how well they are doing,
And another Thank You for all of your help! =)
Maybe we will find out what they are, I Hope so any way, they deserve to have their name listed

I checked this out and those look more like azaleas, and they didn't have the seed pods that mine do, let me see if I can add more pics, you can tell more about the flower by the newest pics I took

Aug 10th, 2012 at 9:55:16 AM PDT by

rhododendron?

Aug 10th, 2012 at 8:48:18 AM PDT by

? I'm not sure but I can google that name and see what comes up, I took some more pics I am going to add if it lets me, this time I focused on 1 flower insttead of all of them, maybe that will help

Aug 10th, 2012 at 9:50:03 AM PDT by

ok will keep looking

Aug 9th, 2012 at 10:53:44 PM PDT by

Thanks for Helping, I am really puzzled about this myself, and I knew what they were when I planted them last year. When they finally came up this year I couldn't for the life of me remember what they were. =)

Aug 10th, 2012 at 9:48:10 AM PDT by

or an azalea

Aug 8th, 2012 at 2:49:47 PM PDT by

Thanks, but no, not azeleas, I have azeleas and I know what they look like, these are not a bush, they are on 1 stem with a row of flowers going from top to almost the bottom of the stem, with little tear shaped pods beside each flower that turn light green when the seeds are ready to harvest, but look out when you go to harvest the seeds and you touch the pod they burst open and throw the seeds every where.
Now any more ideas since I added this info?
Thanks for your time, if you can think of anything else Please comment
