Isn't this the common Impatiens? The very characteristic "hook" is present in flower buds.

You are right Izhar because most of the Impatiens sold out here in the nurseries are brought from Karachi as potted plants or in small bags.Izhar the main problem here we face is the foot root in moon soon in Impatiens.I usually use river sand with little very minimum amount of old manure & peat moss. According to the nursery men manure hold moisture which kills Impatiens , is it right.

I thought so, I have tried it many a time but results were always disappointing. I do not even think of it now. Has anyone in Lahore grown them as good as in these pictures?
