Default PHOTO OF THE WEEK, Touch-Me-Not

All one has to do is to touch a ripe seed pod of this wild flower to
understand where the common name comes from. The pod explodes, sending
the seeds in all directions. When walking through a stand of
Touch--Me-Nots, it can sound like rain if enough of them are ripe.

They are very pretty -- are they invasive? Can I buy seeds/plants at
the local nursery?

thanks. As always, I look forward to your photos.
