Impatiens seed pods

Our youngest introduced me to some fun I'd been missing out on. The impatiens that PU planted around the oak between the summer kitchen and the house have gone to seed. The seed pods explode when pressure is applied. It reminds me of some kind of silly jumping bean show. We could drop them on the walk way and have them spring into action too. Who can't use more fun?

Simple pleasures.

  1. That is one flower trick that I did not know. We'll have to plant some next year!

  2. They are like ukuleles and side cars on motorcycles. They bring smiles.
