They have a trumpet shape and rich coloring, making them most intriguing!
These blossoms are little beauties, but I also liked the way the droplets of rain formed beads upon the leaves.
Below is the yellow form of jewelweed, which is a little more rare.
You are most likely to find jewelweed along creeks and streams. They like to keep their roots wet. They are also often found in the same neighborhood as stinging nettle. Jewelweed is said to be a good antidote for the sting of the nettle, and for poison ivy and insect bites. But if all else fails, they are still simply beautiful to look at.
