This surprised me. I saw tons of these tiny plants growing in the woods and in shallow streams, but had no idea that they were "baby" jewelweed plants.

"Impatiens capensis", the orange jewelweed, common jewelweed, spotted jewelweed, or orange balsam, is an annual plant which is native to eastern North America. It is common in bottomland soils, ditches, and along creeks, often growing side-by-side with its less common relative, yellow jewelweed.
