Very pretty and quite deceiving Kathy - those double petals do give the impression that it could be a rose - lovely color and so nicely photographed!!!!!! p.s. yes, in our area we are in for quite an extended heat wave with temps in the high 90's - just had a new central AC installed just in time.

My wife had these too but not this year. Here it has the nickname "Fleissiges Lieschen" (meaning busy Elizabeth) because it blooms very quickly once it starts to bloom. Nice shot of the impatiens.
My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
