Congratulations to John Nieuwenhoff and Andy Wolf. Both of them guessed the correct answer. John beat Andy by a hair but said Andy could have the seeds as John's garden is already full, and space is at a premium!
The flowers in the picture are called Balsams. They are a type of impatiens. The ones in the picture, self sow every year. I don't even have to plant them, I only have to thin them out. They seem to grow well in the same conditions as ordinary impatiens and take the shade very well. The ones in the picture were in full sun. Last year was very cool and the sun did not seem to bother them at all. In a normal summer they would probably do O.K. as long as they a bit in the heat of the day. Kind of like what Jewel weed does which is also an impatien.
