| Looks like the native Impatiens capensis, Jewelweed. Is the stem very succulent (thick, juicy)? |

| That's what it looks like to me too. Mid to late summer these guys put on quite a flower display. Kids *love* their exploding seed pods - they are also called touch-me-nots. FataMorgana |

| And the seeds are edible once they turn brown, kind of walnut-y. (but better than walnuts, in my opinion) |

| yes, the stalk is thick and juicy... i will keep them be then if they flower! Thanks |

| Might also be Impatiens pallida. Will be apparent when they flower. |
