Field Notes

Description:

Five petals, four of them orange and one of them white. It has a spur in the middle of the flower, and dark green leaves.

Habitat:

Tropical rainforest

Notes:

I think this one is either Impatiens walleriana, an invasive species from Africa, or Impatiens turrialbana, a native species. I. turrialbana is native to more mountainous areas, so I'm leaning towards walleriana on this one.
