Impatiens species.
Mystery Flower -- can you identify it for the photographer?

When I met David in Seattle recently, he explained his flower photography as his wish to get down inside the blossoms.

It's an Impatiens, but I don't recognise the species. It doesn't appear to be the common Himalayan Balsam (I. glandulifera), nor any of the others that I've seen.

The seed pods definitely say Impatiens. I have no clue as to the species.

I do think it is Himalayan Jewel Weed, Impatiens glandulifera. The profile view is not common.
