What Am I ? by gardencat

What Am I ?

A wild flower found on a walk by a creek.
There were several plants with flowers like this, in lighter or darker shades of pink, scattered around the area. I tried my usual internet research but couldn't come up with an identification so, if anyone out there can pin a name on it, I'd appreciate it. As you can see, it seems to be another plant showing the stresses of a long, hot, summer. Better, to show detail, on black

* EDT Probably Impatiens Glandialifera (as suggested by @beryl)
Great find and capture

Great find - did a little internet research and could be Indian Balsam ( Impatiens Glandialifera) or at least one of the Impatiens group of plants!

@beryl That does look very much like it, both leaves and flowers, and the habitat sounds right too. thanks for digging that up.

Look at that @beryl Beryl- right on the button! I took a picture of your photo, Joanne, and I checked it out with my plant ID app (Picture This). It is in total agreement with Beryl! :) A lovely photo, too! And super on black! Fav
