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. js -- PHOTO OF THE WEEK: http://schmidling.com/pow.htm Astronomy, Beer, Cheese, Fiber,Gems, Sausage,Silver http://schmidling.com |

Touch- Me- Nots are also known to releive any kind of skin irritatains
for a short time. Though this does not help the healing process it can be used as a quick releif remedy. Chuckie in the thawing north, zone 5 |

Grdner expounded:
They are very pretty -- are they invasive? Can I buy seeds/plants at the local nursery? They self-sow themselves freely, so yes, they are invasive, but easily removed - by the handful! -- Ann, gardening in Zone 6a South of Boston, Massachusetts e-mail address is not checked ****************************** |

I'm not sure if it was exactly the same variety as in your photo, but we were told to crush it and use it on poison ivy and insect bites for a little quick relief from itching. MaryL |
