Today, in the garden, I saw what appeared to be a seed pod on my impatiens plant. I picked it off, and as I did so, it exploded in my hand. So I very carefully picked another seed pod and very lightly rolled it between my fingertips. That one exploded too, and jumped out of my fingertips.
Soooo, I carefully picked another one and placed it in a plastic container along with one of the flowers from the plant. Here's a photo of the seed pod before it explodes.
