IMPATIENS WALLERIANA

La Impatiens walleriana Hook. f. (1868) è originaria dell’Africa tropicale (Kenya, Malawi, Mozambico, Tanzania e Zimbabwe) dove cresce nelle foreste costiere e lungo le rive dei fiumi in zone umide ed ombrose.

Il nome del genere è il termine latino “impatiens” = impaziente, con riferimento alle capsule che si aprono di scatto disseminando i semi; la specie è dedicata al missionario britannico Horace Waller (1833-1896).

The name of the genus is the Latin term "impatiens" = impatient, with reference to the capsules that open suddenly, scattering the seeds; the species is dedicated to the British missionary Horace Waller (1833-1896).

Found two of them together in my rhododendrons this morning. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eacles_imperialis There’s a very interesting photo in the Wikipedia description that shows how they’ve evolved to look like dead leaves. In fact, I pulled them off of the rhododendron because I thought they were dead leaves:(

Coccothrinax salvatoris black and white. I posted a color version of this photo a few days ago but I think it works well as a black and white image.

Since I was a kid I’ve always called them mitten leaves. It was only a few years ago that I learned that they are the leaves of the mulberry tree. I consider myself extremely lucky to have a mulberry tree in my backyard.

Went back to check on the luxury caps this morning. They’re still looking beautiful:) This one reminds me of a starfish.
