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?
I think our Pakistani Impatiens is slightly different from the ones in the picture. You can see the entry on Impatiens balsamica in the Flora database. I do not recall seeing these plants (in the US picture of yours) in Karachi.
