Wildflower - Pale Touch-me-not

I found a patch of Pale Touch-me-not (Impatiens pallida), also known as Pale/Yellow Jewelweed, in bloom.



The ripe seedpods of this plant pop open at a gentle touch, hence the name touch-me-not.



Earlier this summer I posted photos of Jewelweed ("Spotted Touch-me-not") which is orange and another native species of touch-me-not.
