Parrot Beak is the plants common name the botinical name is Niamniamensis. Please don't ask me to pronounce it :)

Hi,

It's Impatiens niamniamensis - closely related to the 'Busy Lizzy', although you wouldn't think it to look at the flowers! (Leaves very similar though.)

Hello - I just bought a plant that looks exactly like this. Do you happen to know what it's called? The grower referred to it as Parrot's Beak (as I see you have as well), but when I look at other pictures of Parrot's Beak, it looks quite different. Any thoughts you have are appreciated!
