Small Balsam at Veluwe, Netherlands I'm hoping for some help with the identification on this one, the field guide apps I use do not list this plant. What is remarkable about this plant is that the flower is covered with a reflective "glitter" coating. You can only see this when opening this photo in HD mode.
