An interesting fact about this flower is that the juice from the stems can be used to soothe the sting from nettles and Poison Ivy. It is also a favorite of hummingbirds.

This was a favorite of mine as a child. Found in moist areas, Touch-Me-Nots sprout a pod. When they're touched, the pods explode -- sending their seeds shooting outward.
Great fun!
when I found these, I was shocked as I have not seen them as a child. I still remember when my dad first showed me how they explode when we were out nature hiking.
