A Blessed Sunday to you!
Today, I want to share something beautiful from my garden. Again, this is a gift and a blessing from my friend's garden. I already have the Single Petaled Impatiens given to me by my own sister many years ago. So, both the Single and Double Impatiens are from 2 beautiful souls that God has brought into my life. God is so good. He has blessed me with many beautiful people in my life. Even though we have our hiccups, we still love and appreciate one another. Relationship needs all parties involved to build up and to strengthen. Relationship is not only about receiving but it is also about giving. Relation is about sharing.

Scientific name is Impatiens Walleriana. Some of the common names are Double Impatiens, Garden Balsam, Sultana & Busy Lizzie, etc.
This whole pot of Double Impatiens was from my friend's garden.
The plants were very healthy when they were first brought home.
I placed the pot in a place where it was exposed to full sun. Plus, it was rainy season at that time.
After a few days, I noticed that the stems were rotting due to too much rain water.
I moved the pot further under my side porch and control the watering.
The few remaining plants slowly recovered and started to grow back to health. 
The above photo was taken in my friend's garden. Her impatiens are grown on the ground and they are so healthy and growing all over that patch of her garden.
Now my double impatiens are growing very healthy and have started to bud and bloom.
The double impatiens looks like a rose flower.
I have seen many colours but currently, I only have this light orange/pinkish purple ones.
I am slowly propagating the double impatiens through stem cuttings.
Impatiens are easily targeted by pests and there is need to check on the leaves especially the underside for signs of mealy pests, etc. and quickly pinched off the affected leaves before the other leaves are affected too.
I usually feed the plants with fertilizer once in 2 to 3 weeks.
Whenever I see this rose impatiens beauty, my heart will be overflowing with praise.
My heart is overflowing with a beautiful thought!
I will write a lovely poem to the King,
for I am as full of words as the speediest writer pouring out his story.
(Psalms 45:1, TLB)
