Hymalayan Balsam

or Policeman's helmet or Impatiens Glandulifera.  This is a very tall plant here and considered a noxious weed in many areas as it thrives thanks to its seed pods that explode sending seeds up to 20 ft according to one article!  you can see some seed pods on the left.  Apparently it is edible! 
As you can see the light is wonderful again today!  Tomorrow rain is forecast. :-(

A pink flower for BCAM. (Breast Cancer Awareness Month)   Please could you click on this link and then on the pink bar to help those who do not have the NHS to pay for their mammograms,  It's free!  The advertisers donate! :-)
