        Yep Impatiens glandulifera very pretty flower but can be quite invasive, perfectly legal to allow it to grow on your land in the UK however cultivating wouldn't be.

          Allow it to grow on your land & your land will become its land.

          You can eat the seed pods, they explode in your mouth, cheaper than popping candy.
