Impatiens lawii

Looks better than Van Gogh painting.

This reminds me of wild flower meadow in the Texas prairie… pink bottle brush…
although the plants cant be seen individually here to discern each…..

Would like to visit Kaas during flowering season. Btw…what are these tiny herbs?

You all may thank the almighty who created this landscape, the greatest of the poets and unknown photographer who sent it to me for ID. I am just the editor. For those who do not know, this is from Kaas, a lateritic plateau 130 km south of Pune and the plant is Impatiens lawii Hook. f. & Thomson. The plateau wears a hue of single
colour (blue, white, pink, yellow, purple) every week formed by different plants like Eriocaulon, Utricularia, Smithia, Pleocaulus etc. The peak season is NOW, and may not last untill you plan a visit and manage to reach here. Good luck next year.

KAS Week: (Balsam Sp for ID 01/10/2012-NJ): Balsam Sp. found at Kas. Pl identify. Unfortunately this is the only photo available without leaves.

This has to be Impatiens lawii only.

Kas plateau … about 4000 ft asl

Impatiens lawii Hook.f. & Thomson … (family: Balsaminaceae)

Kas week : Impatiens lawii SMP:  Impatiens lawii
Most common species of a flowering plant on the plateau when Karvi is not flowering.

… purple sea !

This is what gives the typical KAS scenery pic its hue…

KAS Week DS_041012_01 Impatiens tomentosa:  So many Impatiens of variety colours – pink, majenta , covering the ground like velvet carpet.
All attached pics are of pink Impatience, hope all are of same species. Please confirm.

I think most of them are Impatiens oppositifolia. The last one may be Impatiens lawii.

… the second-last photo is a closer shot of the last view, and shows leaves too – Impatiens lawii.
The first three photos could be one among Impatiens oppositifolia OR tomentosa.

I agree with you. Seems we have to spend more time with Impatiens next time to catch proper characters!

KAS Week DS_041012_03 Impatience small flower: Attached pics are of Impatience– dark pink – but size smaller. Leaf shape looks different.
Please provide complete spec.
