Pods that go pop

This peculiar flower is hanging from a plant called *touch-me-not balsam* (Impatiens noli-tangere), *groot springzaad* in Dutch. The flowers are followed by pods which, when ripe, explode when you touch them, ejecting the seeds.

This is its smaller cousin, *small balsam* (Impatiens parviflora), *klein springzaad* in Dutch. You can see the Pods That Pop on the left:

The two species above are native in The Netherlands and much of Europe. The next one, *policeman's helmet* aka *gnome's hatstand* (Impatiens glandulifera), *reuzenbalsemien* in Dutch, is not.

Originally from the Himalayas, this is an invasive plant here in Europe, capable of covering large areas quickly and pushing out native species:

Pretty, but a nuisance. It happens.

Thanks for watching!

It does feel really strange when you feel a bit of plant move between your fingers.

we have a relative here in the states that we called touch me nots growing up but everyone calls them Jewel Weed. It is a good plant to rub on you if you accidentally touch poison ivy.
