Impatiens

I love Impatiens and try to plant a few each year.  Last year we planted a couple of single Impatiens in a pot in the yard.  They were so beautiful with the contrasting pinks and reds against the dark green of the leaves.  This year i decided to plant them in hanging pots on the back porch.  While wandering through the local nursery I found these.



Both varieties are called Bi-Color Rose Impatiens, but the dark variety has only one color as far as I can see. The blue flowers are called Hanging Violets.  I think they add a nice delicate touch to the baskets in contrast to the boldness of the Impatiens.
