These are for WZ. One of the very first threads I ever found on DG was her "Seed snatchin" series. It gave me the idea to snatch seeds to have for trade, so being I was new and had ZERO seeds, I thought it was quite a coup! These are plain purple Impatiens from marquee planting of the church up the street. I was surprised by the delivery on them -- that seed cover springing open in my hand was a surprise! -- but quickly got the hang of it.

Impatiens prefer to be sown in groups -- I have seen articles on "mutual stimulation" that caught my eye, but for other reasons ROTFL! that explain this fact and its advisement on sowing certain kinds of seeds in a community pot.
