Touch-me-not or Spotted Jewel-weed

Impatiens

Touch-me-not or Spotted Jewel-weed (Impatiens biflora) beside Highway 321, what was referred to as the Gatlinburg-Greenbrier road at the time the photograph was taken. This is near the head of Birds Creek. The photographer, Carlos C. Campbell (1892-1978), was a founding member of the Smoky Mountain Hiking Club (est. 1924) and a charter member of the Great Smoky Mountains Conservation Association (est. 1923). Campbell was an avid hiker and often assisted Jim Thompson with his camera equipment. When Campbell won a folding camera in 1935, he began his own photography journey, taking thousands of photographs and jotting down information about each one in small notebooks. His granddaughter, Rebecca Campbell Arrants, donated this collection of photographs and notebooks from 1934 - 1940 to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
