The leaves look the same as an Impatiens, I'd go with it! :)
JDP
Probably Impatiens gnomes.
JBoerner
Yeah I'm kind of guessing it was planted. No idea who would have done it though. It's kind of tucked out of the way.
JDP
That's pretty neat! Do you think it was planted? Impatiens is sort of an odd volunteer.
JBoerner
I actually just went back and looked again. It is not a pot. It's actually an exposed section of the inner bark of the tree. I agree with you that this is probably an impatiens.
JDP
Is that a pot stuck in that tree? The plant looks like an Impatiens.
