I've taken out the list of plants in the main article, because it is duplicated in the species list, and as it contains the imprecise 'New Guinea Impatiens'. And I'm not sure, but would the list of garden forms not all belong and be better placed under Busy Lizzie. Imc 14:55, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Ceylon balsam?

The common name offered for Impatiens repens is Ceylon jewelweed. AFAIK his name is not used except in North America; it is called a balsam (as also for the related and similar forms from elsewhere in Asia). Also, they are mostly perennial. Imc 21:48, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Photography

The pictures on this page as of 18 May 2007 are rubbish. Superruss 10:24, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

I wouldn't go that far, but it could do with a few pictures of the seed pods (both "before" and "after"), since they're a major feature of the plant.

[edit] Health

They like to be in the sun. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.178.18.38 (talk) 10:48, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
