Balsam plant.

 The term "balsam plant" most often refers to the Sarmatian censer (Melittis melissophyllum), known as "forest balsam" for its honey-like aroma and healing properties. Other plants with similar properties and names include Monarda ("bee balm") and Melissa officinalis (lemon balm). There is also the Impatiens impatiens (touch-me-not), but it belongs to a different family and is popular as an ornamental plant.

Balsam.

 Impatiens is a herbaceous plant of the Impatiaceae family. The Latin name Impatiens means "not withstanding pressure". It reflects the property of the plant. From the slightest touch, the seed pod bursts and shoots seeds at a considerable distance.

 For this feature, people call it touch-me-not. In total, the genus has more than 500 species, only 15 of which are cultivated.

Balsam

 Since all its varieties are light-loving plants, they need to be provided with good lighting. Balsam should not be exposed to direct sunlight. Window sills on the western and eastern sides are ideal for this flower.
