Himalayan Balsam (Impatiens glandulifera)


Himalayan Balsam (Impatiens glandulifera)

The flowers of this plant look like little orchids but it is extremly invasive. They disperse their seeds in the same manner as Cytisus scoparius, which is also very invasive in this part of the world. It is hard to iradicate.
