These orchid-like flowers are growing by the creek across from my

apartment. It looks rather ... tropical. What is it?

This is the spotted touch-me-not and also known as the Jewelweed. The stems when crushed have a relieving salve for poison ivy. Though they look tropical I have seen them in Canada all the way down to Louisiana. I lived in Ontario canada and they grow there. It gets the name touch me not from the early unopened flowers. When just right and you squeeze them they pop. I was just looking at my book and it says they grow from Newfoundland all the way down to Florida. I just noticed you live in Toronto. I lived in Oshawa for six years. I am from Louisiana. Too cold for this cajun boy up there. Met my wife down here in Tennessee where we live now. I tried living in her country but had to move down. Brrrrrr
