Hi Katie,
I will be interested to see what kind of feedback you get on your question
about jewelweed. I've been noticing so much more of it in disturbed areas
the past few years (even my own garden!) here in western Massachusetts and
have speculated that this might be a species that could become problematic
outside of its native range.
Best,
Cynthia

Has anyone had any experience with jewelweed (Impatiens) native to the
eastern U. S. becoming weedy in valley marsh habitats in the intermountain
West?
I see that jewelweed Impatiens capensis (orange jewelweed) is listed as a
King County (WA) “Weed of Concern”.
This species is shown as having a yellow flowered form, which is what we
are seeing.
