Hello,

I live in Lake County Illinois on 6 acres of Woodlands and I noticed these plants popping up EVERYWHERE. I've tried to ID them for a while but I'm stumped. I'm trying to determine whether they are invasive or not. Any help with this would be appreciated.

I have Impatiens capensis which is the orange colored Jewel Weed. It favors ditches and wet, shady areas. The plants are about knee high (on this date) and the stems are very thick and fleshy with swollen nodes. They have a glaucous covering which comes off when rubbed. Leaf arrangement is alternate, yours appears to be opposite.

I think it is a woodland aster. The plant is not translucent enough for jewelweed
