This plant, commonly called Touch-Me-Not (Impatiens spp.) is famous for its explosive seed dispersal mechanism. When the seed pods mature, even the slightest touch causes them to burst open, flinging seeds far from the parent plant.
This unique adaptation helps the plant efficiently spread its seeds across a wide area. Additionally, Impatiens species are beloved for their vibrant, colorful flowers and ability to thrive in shaded garden areas, making them popular ornamental plants.
