Photographs of the "Parrot Plant" (Impatiens Psittacina), which bears flowers whose shape and coloring are strikingly evocative of a parrot in flight. (From Northern Thailand, Northern India, and Myanmar *formerly Burma*) It was described by J.D. Hooker in 1901, and the specific epithet psittacina means parrot-like. The petals, which do resemble a parrot in flight, are shades of pale lilac, reddish purple and white.
