I used to have some “Touch Me Not” planted and just weeding around them and accidentally touching one would set them off. Fun to watch though. Now I can’t even find anyone who knows what they are, much less seeds to plant some more.

The plant called ‘Touch me Not’ is really Himalayan Balsam……a beautiful plant but considered a big problem if growing near waterways…it is prolific !! However I always keep at least one in my garden because the Bees love it, and we need the Bees…
