When I was younger we used to touch these little yellow/orange flowers on a bush and the bloom would "pop" off. These flowers were in the Michigan/Ohio area where I grew up. The only flower I can find is the bunchberry but it is not the right leaf (too dark and waxy) or color of bloom (white).
Does anyone know the name of the flower that "pops" when you touch it?
Jewelweed aka "touch me nots" are in the Balminaceae family. The orange is Impaties capensis and the yellow is impaties pallida. The seed pods explode when touched. This is a native plant in the US.
Reply:I always leave a few wild jewelweeds in my flower garden. They are very pretty, fun to pop the seed pods ...also try holding a leaf under some water and watch it shine like a bright jewel Report It
Reply:fuchsia
Reply:I believe they are called snapdragons.
