Jewelweed is blooming all along the trail by the Kearny Marsh at Gunnell Oval.
The plant is also called a "Touch-Me-Not" or Popper.
The reason: When you touch the seed pod (lower right), the pod pops and the seed goes flying — an ingenious way to transport seeds away from the plant.
Jewelweed is native, and very popular with Ruby-throated Hummingbirds.
It is used to treat Poison Ivy.
