Jewelweed at the cotyledon stage


The jewelweed is just starting to come up, these tiny plants show the two cotyledons which were part of the seed, now sprouted to form the first leaves. Picture taken April 17, 2009, along the main trail in Happy Hollow Park. This jewelweed could be either the orange kind (Impatiens capensis) or the yellow kind (Impatiens pallida).
