Ripe fruits of Impatiens when touched burst suddenly. The fruit valves roll inwards and the seeds ejected with great force and get dispersed in all directions.
Tie a small bag around the seedhead to collect the seeds. (Cloth is best as plastic can get condensation inside and paper disintegrates if it rains. You could use a sock or stocking too.)
The explosion of pods for dispersal by natural seed-fall, wildlife or wind describes the way that the jewel weed disperses seeds. The annual in question (Impatiens capensis) produces pendant (hanging) pods after the orange, three-lobed flower's pollination by bees and hummingbirds. Seeds that explode in response to light breezes and touches will be called projectiles.
Yes. Let them mature naturally on the plant. Collect (pick) the seeds when they are full and dry. Store in a dry place and protect from freezing over the winter. Plant directly into the ground in spring.
One example is Himalayan balsam (Impatiens glandulifera). Now a common weed growing head height in damp areas (river banks and ditches) the ripe seeds explode and disperse when brushed against by a walker or animal.
