Plants From Another Planet

A riot on the porch

Out-of-control impatiens

I nominate my wife’s out-of-control impatiens plants. We plant seven planters full of seedlings every spring. Wind and children pop the seed pods as soon as they are ripe, and the plants multiply rapidly during the summer. By the end of August, we cannot even walk on our porch without risking stepping on a riot of colorful, blossoming plants. They soon begin to take over the porch.
