Jewel Weed
Jewel Weed (Impatiens capensis) is often found in damp or wet environments, such as along stream banks. The plant has a fascinating method of seed dispersal. When the seed capsules mature, they explode upon touch or when exposed to rain. This explosive mechanism propels the seeds away from the parent plant. Jewel Weed is traditionally thought to have properties that can help soothe skin irritation caused by poison ivy and stinging nettle. The nectar-rich flowers of Jewel Weed attract hummingbirds, making it a welcome addition to gardens.
