"Touch-me-nots" are a fun wildflower in the late summer. Though these
aren't quite there yet, when the seed capsules mature, they literally
explode when touched, sending seeds flying for several feet.

You can eat the seeds Linda - They have a slight walnut flavor to them... and the mature seeds are robin egg blue, if you lightly scratch off the outer coating. The succulent stems are also excellent for soothing insect bits and nettle sting...
(Dawns summers spent as A Nature Counselor are showing...)
Wow! I didn't know any of that. I'll have to munch on one the next time I'm around mature seeds!
