Has anyone heard about a recent discovery of a Blue Impatiens? The scientific name is Impatiens namchabarwensis. 2 botanists found it in a remote canyon in Tibet back in 2003.

Thompson and Morgan have come up with an improved strain. Unfortunately it is only available in the UK:

Has anyone tried this species yet? I sure would like to try to grow this species.
