ID requested on pink flower
This plant is coming up in a Sydney flower garden.

It looks like Impatiens (Balsam) to me!! The leaves in the second photo
are different. Bronwyn ;-) Richard Wright wrote: On Fri, 23 Nov 2007 06:19:51 +1100, Richard Wright wrote: This plant is coming up in a Sydney flower garden. http://www.box.net/shared/static/gdzf2ncm01.jpg Can anybody give me a lead to its ID?

Bronwyn ;-) That's what I thought it was. the first one looks very like impatiens, the second one doesn't at all (to me, anyway). there are a lot of things that share flower-forms; it's not always wise to go by what the flowers look like. impatiens has that particular looking stem & growth though, which was not easy to see in either pic.(?) kylie |
