Pink Impatiens  (Impatiens)

All my pink impatiens are flowering. They tend to bloom most of the year here. Photo taken March 4, 2016.

Nice variegated. I haven't seen those variegated...that's usually for the annual New Guinea types. I gave up on those.

The variegation is beautiful Delonix and contrasts nicely with the pink flowers. I haven't seen it before either. Those leaves are tri-coloured. Cracking Busy Lizzie.

This is not a New Guinea type. I have grown the New Guinea Impatiens in Hayward for two years or so. They did unbelievably well there.

This variegated one I originally purchased from Berkeley Horticulture around 1994. They live two or three years then I take cuttings.

I don't see this variety for sale very often at all here in San Diego. In fact, I've only seen the double flowered variegated one for sale here.

I was just looking these up and guess what? There you are on google with goy, january 2012 with the same busy lizzie, or it's mum or auntie.

Thorneyside:

Yes, I've been posting photos of this Impatiens for years. I used to have huge ones in with my Rhapis multifida and I took them all out. I should put some cutting back with the Rhapis multifida because it looks so plain without them. The palm should have many babies by now; however, it still has only one trunk.

Pretty grouping there. The pink is lovely.

There's several other species of Impatiens there, also.
