Impatiens

Today Elisabeth and I visited the botanic gardens. Among the many flowers we saw were two beautiful beds of impatiens (which I had previously thought were impatients). Elisabeth asked what they were, and I read the sign: impatiens. Right away she burst into song:

Have patience, have patience
don't be in such a hurry!
When you get impatient
it only makes you worry . . .

Clearly in her mind she spelled it the way I did before today.
