Thanks for the link - an amazing collection of photos.
But I am not overly impressed with the colours. For example,Impatiens
niamiamensis seems far too drab, and if you look at Mitraria coccinea
(in Gesneriaceae), it seems to be made of aluminium foil!
I see what you mean about Impatiens beuaertii; "let me entertain you"
comes to mind!
