Its....Parrot_Impatiens or Impatiens niamniamensis. Very pretty - used to have one years ago but you don't often see them nowadays. Grows really well from cuttings. I used to snip bits off and root them a jar of water.

That is pretty impressive,

both the plant itself and the fact the puzzle was solved in 38 and 41 minutes, even though 'The Team' did not get a chance to answer
