Impatient

• You feel impatient and easily on edge, you don't like slowness

Description

Himalayan balsam, giant balsam, grainy balsam, Himalayan balsam… Under all these names hides one and the same plant: Impatiens glandulifera. Originally from Kashmir and Nepal, it was introduced into France during the 19th century: quick to grow and spread against all odds, it adapted very well to the French environment. Perhaps even a little too well, because since the 20th century, this plant has been considered an “invasive” species…

The grainy impatiens is nonetheless a very beautiful plant : look for it near waterways, in full sun or in areas half-dark, if you want to admire it. You will recognize it by its quite impressive size – it can reach up to two meters high and around sixty centimeters wide –, its serrated leaves and above all, its superb flowers, blooming from July to September. They can take different shades: pink, pale mauve, red…

Note that the “fruits” of this plant are very particular: they form very long, striped capsules. When they break off, they release many seeds at high speed several meters away, making Impatiens glandulifera a fast-spreading plant.
