Abstract
A new and distinctive New Guinea Impatiens plant characterized by flowers with two or more colors distributed in distinct irregular randomly distributed patterns on some or all petals and flowers. The patterns are defined by multiple irregularly shaped regions of color. Generally, each region consists of an elongate streak or patch of color typically radiating in a direction from the base of a petal to the edge of the petal. The irregularly shaped regions, while not necessarily exclusive of other colors, generally are dominated by a single color. The streaks or patches forming regions may vary in color intensity, shape, length, and width. They also vary in terms of their position relative to the base and edge of a petal.
