The two tone made them very attractive.

maybe this plant. grow in a good climate or temperature.

Very beautiful flowers, extraordinary.

<center>**IMPATIENS**</center>

The flowers are colorful and very easy to grow on soil that contains a lot of humus. It is suitable to be planted to decorate the edge of the pond, or on the ground near water.

Planting is very easy, we only need to take the old seeds (children usually like to pick the fruit of this plant, because if the old fruit is touched a little, it explodes, the seeds come out and the fruit skins roll quickly. One of the mechanisms of natural seed distribution is very good, seeds are planted directly on the ground, in a few days we will be able to see a lot of tillers growing.
![Impatiens_Impatiens_Walleriana_Jambalaya_TM_Lavender-1.medium.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVBtbbhvWMpVxi2JMVXubgjVXzarx4TWVU5uqqUaL5Eqx/Impatiens_Impatiens_Walleriana_Jambalaya_TM_Lavender-1.medium.jpg)
We can immediately move the tillers who already have 4-5 leaves safely to the place we want that has been given humus. Make sure the plant gets enough water, but don't stagnate to avoid decaying the stem.
![images.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNhqtoH8GGCcYbi7rwSs7gy15ZguN3myUtJMR9eBzpkj9/images.jpeg)
Some types of Impatiens can also be planted by separating stems that have little aerial roots (sometimes we can find air roots at the base of the branches of this plant. I have tried several times and succeeded.
![Impatiens_Impatiens_Walleriana_Jambalaya_TM_Violet-1.medium.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWS9KwiUiEssXLZVM5DhHkuXxgaej8JbrszDrZHyToacC/Impatiens_Impatiens_Walleriana_Jambalaya_TM_Violet-1.medium.jpg)
This plant is fast flowering. In a matter of less than a month sometimes it can flower. The flowers are very beautiful and alive. Colorful, ranging from red, orange, red, purple, pink, pale orange, pale pink and even a few years ago I had the opportunity to have white ones. The bright colors of the henna water flowers invite many butterflies to come, so for fans of butterflies, planting these plants is very profitable.

This beautiful flowers are just like me. I also love the morning sun, but at noon or afternoon I am more happy to be in the shadow :-)

These ornamental plants come from Papua New Guinea (New Guinea). Therefore this plant is called New Guinea Impatiens.
![mainImage-full-11370005.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcMGC24PDLK1LRC79F66ck1daSMeWdUqg38TnE52jDCKZ/mainImage-full-11370005.jpg)
This plant will continue to bloom throughout the year if it is well cared for. France is a plant that does not grow tall or low plants. Liked the sun but if it is exposed to the sun continuously the flowers don't bloom too much. So it's better to plant this flower on the yard that gets the morning sun to maximize the flower blooms.

This flowering plant is more suitable for planting in pots because of its small and short shape. However, it can also be planted directly on the ground to cover the yard of the house where the land is empty. Uniquely this ornamental plant can also be stored in a shady place, only the effect is rarely flowering. However, if you decide to keep it in the shade, every 2 times a week you have to be dried in the sun so you can photosynthesize.
![FLSIMP31924_3.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfQyGnMsA2s6PbxShkpuuUAaosHUopf5fQyryLQJ1j3v7/FLSIMP31924_3.jpg)
Plant by laying roots at the same depth of soil as in the original pot. For more satisfying results, use high quality soil pots. However, for starters it can be planted in the medium of raw husk, fuel husk or cocopeat. Do not use soil that has leather or wood chips. Flush when the soil begins to dry out, France likes soil that is moist and consistently, unable to tolerate soil that is too wet and dry. To plant indoor flush once a week is enough.

Loosen the soil in pots and add 30 to 50 percent of compost or peat to the soil to create adequate drainage. Store it in a place that receives morning sun and shade in the afternoon, ideally receiving an afternoon shade of around 4-6 hours. Unlike when planted indoors, outdoor planting requires regular watering every day. Avoid watering from the top of the plant and reduce flush if the media conditions are still too moist or cold.
![images.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZJWrQ9uyqnub5LJAaAL8pdUAgUBtjJnLWmr732fWqRDG/images.jpeg)
Always add fertilizer that dissolves in water every one or two weeks, what should be remembered is that when the planting medium is dry, do not immediately apply fertilizer, but wet it first by ordinary water to avoid burning the roots. Pick every flower that is old and always clean the media from plant or weed flakes if any.

Actually not picked is also okay because the flowers that are too old will fall off on their own, but this is not neat. Conversely by picking old flowers can make the appearance of flowers and media always neat can also prevent fungal infections and diseases.
![images (1).jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZ3X4dpftqFhFg5oAELccZ2CFGtEAPZYnVuCQ4Kp1vqEd/images%20(1).jpeg)
You are free to cut it according to the shape you want when France has grown irregularly lush, but it is recommended that after cutting, give water and fertilizer so that the plant can grow quickly recover. Basically, if the plant experiences wilting, it will recover soon after being given enough water, but if it is constantly left wilted even though it will recover when given water, this can result in a decrease in the quality of leaves and flowers.

Impatiens is one of the few flowers that bloom constantly and develop in the shade, with little care.
![how-to-grow-and-care-for-new-guinea-impatiens.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTd5sbwzt6MZekXB3D5fxZ3cXAxftTVtoCeopxAsR9LXa/how-to-grow-and-care-for-new-guinea-impatiens.jpg)
Impatiens New Guinea forms small blobs and holds many flowers on their leaves, where they make a colorful appearance.

**Description**
Leaves: Glossy, dark green, burgundy, or variegated, leading to oval leaves. The leaves remain attractive throughout the season.
Flowers: Flowers are the same, but larger than unusual flowers and they come in almost every color but blue. New varieties are introduced every year.

**Botanical name**
*Impatiens hawkeri*

**General Name**
*New Guinea Impatiens*
![images (5).jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbJU4nQjrarL1ZrBgiMwWnNDjPmqHFGpCaTcFZm4L8qzW/images%20(5).jpeg)
**Hardness Zone**
Impatient New Guinea is a tropical plant that is only strong in the USDA Zone 10 - 11. Most gardeners plant it as an annual crop. .
![prod022658.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQma6dmrWQngvzveUsBpLSxfCVb8fgJ4Pu9zW9dnknQ4Bou/prod022658.jpg)
Exposure to sunlight depends on how hot and how much moisture the plant receives. New Guinea entrants do their best in half a day full of sunshine. If the soil is dry or the temperature is very extreme, they will need half a day of shade.
![Impatien Xtreme Pink.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmek3kDh1DE8JYE5fqUNdEgHRxiWLNiEAAtp3P8rXzs7Gj/Impatien%20Xtreme%20Pink.jpg)
**Adult size**
It's low, clots to form plants that grow around 12-18 inches and spread 6-9 inches.
![proven-winners-annuals-ngsprs2197524-64_1000.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZGBwFVqB9Q17V7e6z5f7mZizFazfyxidYQejBam1HHBb/proven-winners-annuals-ngsprs2197524-64_1000.jpg)
**Bloom period**
Expect your New Guinea not to start blooming at the beginning of the season, if they haven't bloomed when you bought it. They will bloom continuously, if they get enough sunlight and water.

### <center>Hello Mr. Botanist aka @ctrl-alt-nwo :)</center>

Impatiens hawkeri, the New Guinea impatiens, is a species of flowering plant in the family Balsaminaceae. It is native to Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. It has been bred and hybridized in cultivation to produce a line of garden plants.  

![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQFwj2cnejchJEBwoiUYXaAFxN3xhdTJGNYUfD3sDbB3U/image.png)
[Source](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQFwj2cnejchJEBwoiUYXaAFxN3xhdTJGNYUfD3sDbB3U/image.png)

The plants have a neat, mounded shape, to a height of 20 to 30 cm. They are perfect for containers - in a big pot, three plants will grow together to form an impressive mass. They are self-cleaning - so no dead-heading is required.

![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXjNhrfnwNd7gc6EvJL67FM4vU5HC68TEaJtkV1xCy8xX/image.png)

 If they are grown in a pot set on paving, wooden decking or tiles, it is advisable to sweep away fallen flowers regularly, as these can adhere annoyingly to the surface after a while.

Colors range from bright hot colors of reds and oranges, to cooler hues of white, pinks, cerise and purples. Some of them have interesting foliage as well.

Note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent watering than they would in the yard or garden.

hi!
Strelitzia
This flower looks pretty attractive to me because it is quite different from normal flowers.
It has a common name of the genus is bird of paradise flower / plant, because of a resemblance of its flowers to the bird of paradise. In South Africa it is commonly known as a crane flower and is featured on the reverse of the 50 cent coin. It is the Official Flower of the City of Los Angeles.

I eagerly waiting for your next article as you always share new plants and flowers.

Really looking so pretty and cute ,multicolour plant. New Guinea impatiens form small clumps and hold their many flowers above their foliage, where they make a colorful display. No deadheading is required to keep them repeat blooming for months. With few pests or problems, New Guinea impatiens offer low maintenance and high performance.

Leaves: Glossy, dark green, burgundy, or variegated, pointed, oblong leaves. The leaves stay attractive throughout the season.
Flowers: The flowers are similar, but larger than the flowers of common impatiens and they come in just about every color but true blue. New varieties are introduced yearly. 





Bloom Period
Expect your New Guinea impatiens to start blooming early in the season, if they aren't already in bloom when you buy them. They will bloom continuously if they are getting enough sun and water.

Starting from Seed: Since New Guinea impatiens are hybrids, most varieties cannot be grown from seed. They are either sterile or will not grow true to seed. However there are a few that have stabilized, and seed is available if you want to give them a try. Luckily plants and seedlings are readily available and there is much more variety if you purchase them as seedlings. You could even bring them inside for the winter, as houseplants. They are also easily grown from cuttings.


New Guinea impatiens are heavy feeders, so add a good amount of organic matter to the soil at planting time or before. Plant at the same level they are in their pots. Once in the ground, give them a good drink of water, to help them establish.

Caring for New Guinea Impatiens
Water: These plants need regular water. Do not let them remain dry for extended periods or they will stop blooming, decline, and potentially die.

Fertilizer: Since New Guinea impatiens bloom their little hearts out all season, they will need some supplemental fertilizer. Give them a dose of your favorite water-soluble food every 3 - 4 days. 

Pests and Problems of New Guinea Impatiens
Unlike common impatiens, New Guinea impatiens are not affected by downy mildew. They should grow virtually pest free when grown as annuals.

Design Tips
New Guinea impatiens make wonderful container plants. Having them in pots lets you get an eye level view. They are also terrific for edging a walkway or the front of a border. If you want to mix it into your border, plant them in a large block, for impact.

The Best Varieties of New Guinea Impatiens to Grow
It's hard to recommend varieties for annuals that are constantly being hybridized. You never know if this year's introduction will be available again next year or if there will be an even better, improved version of it.

However, if you'd like to grow your New Guinea impatiens from seed, the Divine Series is readily available in single colors or mixes and it comes in shades of white, pink, lavender, orange, and red.

Many gardeners are well-acquainted with "Impatiens walleriana," the species that lies behind the colorful garden varieties that brighten up containers, window boxes and shady spots throughout the world. Admirers of this wonderful plant will be surprised to learn that they have barely scratched the surface: the genus "Impatiens" is enormous, comprising over a thousand species--many of which, although highly desirable, remain little known to gardeners. 
Ray Morgan unveils this wealth of untapped treasures: a kaleidoscope of rich colors, a broad range of shade tolerance, and an array of unique features. He begins by examining "Impatiens" through a botanical lens, describing their physiology, morphology, and intriguing seed dispersal mechanism. Then, he places "Impatiens" in historical context, recounting Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker's Victorian-era plant-hunting forays into the Himalayas, and noting how modern-day expeditions, with due concern for conservation, continue to bring back species that will find their way into nurseries and gardens. 
Perhaps most exciting of all are the descriptions of more than 200 impatiens from around the world that offer immense garden value. Madagascar native "Impatiens bicaudata" makes a showy display with its bright red flowers with yellow centers and purple pollen, and is also drought-tolerant, "Impatiens namchabarwensis," discovered in the world's deepest canyon in Tibet, carries dozens of striking, ultramarine blue flowers with upturned spurs; and "Impatiens balsamina," whose camellia-shaped flowers were once popular in cottage gardens, is ripe for rediscovery. 
With over 160 color photos complementing the detailed plant descriptions, this book is essential reading for curious-minded gardeners keen to unearth a fascinating and largely unexplored genus.

New Guinea impatiens (Impatiens hawkeri) is a fairly new type of impatiens that offers quite a few benefits over the traditional Elfin (Impatiens walleriana ) variety. This good looking breed sports oversized, showy flowers and variegated leaves.

It is able to thrive in many parts of the garden because it tolerates and even prefers partial sun. It is also a vigorous grower that gains more size than the old-fashioned variety and is able to fill in more space with fewer plants

Traditional Elfin impatiens is a common landscaping plant and a good choice for adding color and beauty to a partial shade setting. New Guinea impatiens does this well-established favorite one better. These plants enjoy a half-day of sun and present a far more impressive showing than their humble cousins.


This plant was discovered in the jungles of New Guinea in the early 1970s. The original plant specimens were found by during an expedition conducted by the USDA and Pennsylvania’s Agriculture & Longwood Botanical Gardens.

Although the plants were rather spindly and unattractive when brought straight in from the wilderness, clever horticulturists soon developed very attractive, carefree hybrids. Early varieties were available to the public very soon after the discovery of these plants.

By the late 1980s, the hybrid known as Tango had been developed. This continuously flowering plant produces bright orange blooms that can be as large as 2.5 inches across. It was termed an “All-American Selection” in 1989.

Continued selective breeding and development has resulted in plants that produce large, showy flowers coupled with beautiful, variegated foliage. These attractive plants have become a favorite for landscaping, flowerbeds, or in an outdoor container garden.


Infact, few other types of bedding, landscape, and potted plants can rival these plants in terms of popularity. These plants were initially met with enthusiasm, and in the past couple of decades their popularity has soared.

Thanks to share.

New Guinea impatiens are a tropical plant hailing from—you guessed it—New Guinea. These plants have succulent stems and attractive foliage that both create a wonderful backdrop for their large blooms. There are also many foliage variations of New Guineas.

Flowers of New Guinea impatiens are like a maximized version of standard impatiens flowers. Pink, white, lavender, and orange create wonderful palettes to incorporate into your garden. All flowers are composed of five thick petals. Impatiens also have a flower spur full of nectar, which makes them a favorite of moths and butterflies.

Plant New Guinea impatiens in nutrient-rich, well-drained soil. New Guineas aren't vigorous, so they won't take up a lot of space in a garden bed. They make great accents and create pops of color when mixed with filling shade plants.

Fortunately, New Guinea impatiens are resistant to downy mildew, which can quickly wipe out other impatiens varieties. Typical garden pests like aphids, thrips, and spider mites are common problems that New Guineas can run into.

New Guinea impatiens (Impatiens hawkeri) produce much larger flowers than other impatiens. Prized by home gardeners for the colors of these blooms, which almost glow with vibrancy, New Guinea impatiens are named after their native island of New Guinea. Although their initial introduction to the United States in 1970 didn’t go well, plant breeders have since created new cultivars that have made New Guinea impatiens a common potted and landscape plant in American gardens. The plant grows in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 10 through 12 and as annuals everywhere.

Place your plant in a location that receives morning sun and afternoon shade. While New Guinea impatiens love sunlight for part of the day, they won’t bloom as well if they receive too much. They require about four to six hours of afternoon shade. Eastern exposures are often ideal.

Few flowers are as popular as impatiens. They are one of the few flowers that bloom continuously and thrive in shade, with little care. If you've ever wished you could find a similar long bloomer for a sunny spot in the garden, take a look at their cousins, the New Guinea impatiens, Impatiens hawkeri.

New Guinea impatiens form small clumps and hold their many flowers above their foliage, where they make a colorful display. No deadheading is required to keep them repeat blooming for months. With few pests or problems, New Guinea impatiens offer low maintenance and high performance.
