    Hi. My wife and I found this plant frozen in the landfill, brought it home and brought it back to life. All the leaves were frozen but for some reason after 2 weeks, started to put out new leaves. After a month or so, the waxy red flower appeared. We'd sure like to know what the name of it is and the country of origin.
    I'm not sure how to attach the pics but will try. IMG_2358.JPG

    It's an Impatiens, not sure which species though.
