    Taken roadside, wetlands woodlands, Windham, NH. Is this spotted touch-me-not?

    Answer

    tracyd123, yes, your plant is Impatiens capensis (spotted touch-me-not). We have two other species in this genus in New England, but neither of them have flowers with both orange and yellow coloration. Best wishes.
