Ray thinks this is some form of Impatiens but which? *It has the spur at the

post and arrived looking rather sad!

I am going to give you a gold star! I'm sure that's it, David. When Ray
extracted it from the envelope I said "it's a balsam", so I'm going to give
myself half a gold star. ;-)) Apparently this lady was given it by a
neighbour who had grown it from seed but didn't know what it was. Many,
many thanks, David.
