Very common in USA But not seen here at least by me, What flower it is?

Isn't this the common Impatiens? The very characteristic "hook" is present in flower buds.

First 2 most probably impatiens walleriana

3rd sunpatiens

Impatiens & they are available here in many nurseries.i love this annual, it really flower passionately. Brig sb i like the Fiesta doubles.

Impatiens is common in Karachi, ideal for shade

I'm happy to see Izhar back to hell with the impatiens

back to hell

i presume a "," (comma) missing in between

hahahaha

You are right Izhar because most of the Impatiens sold out here in the nurseries are brought from Karachi as potted plants or in small bags.Izhar the main problem here we face is the foot root in moon soon in Impatiens.I usually use river sand with little very minimum amount of old manure & peat moss. According to the nursery men manure hold moisture which kills Impatiens , is it right.

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?
