	Impatiens
		Impatiens are such a beautiful, versatile group of plants that they easily earn the position they have held for several years as the number one bedding plant in the country.
		Impatiens are heavy feeders and should be fertilized every week or two throughout the growing season with a water-soluble formula that is high in phosphorous such as Schultz's Blooms Plus 10-60-10 or Bachman's Excel Gro 15-35-15.
		Impatiens can be grown from seed and if you have the time and the room, this is one way to insure you will be able to find the varieties you want.

	RedOrbit - Science - Impatiens Capensis (Balsaminaceae) Meerb. Is a Necessary Nurse Host for the Parasitic Plant ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The hypothesis that Impatiens capensis is acting as a nurse host to Cuscuta gronovii and subsequently vectoring the parasite to other species predicts that there be a significantly shorter average distance from non-Impatiens hosts to the nearest infected Impatiens than if the infected Impatiens were randomly distributed in the plot.
		When all infected Impatiens had been placed in simulated locations among the observed \locations of the infected non-Impatiens hosts, the average distance from each infected non- Impatiens to the nearest infected Impatiens was calculated.
		One of the central concepts in the population of infectious diseases is the threshold host population size, which is defined as the population size of host necessary for the long-term persistence of the parasite in the host population (Holt et al., 2003).
