apologies for the poor quality. It is a wild flower growing in water or
very boggy soil. The flowers are yellow with red dots, and they are
moist inside.

Cytisus scoparius ????

I don't think so. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytisus_scoparius says
"usually on dry, sandy soils". This was growing in a canal, but there
was so much other vegetation around, I could not see if it was growing
in water or if the canal was silted up. (Do canal silt up?) Elsewhere
Mimulus guttatus was suggested; the red dots inside a yellow flower look
similar but it isn't in North America. The flowers are faded now, so I
cannot get a close up photo.


Cytisus is broom.
Those flowers are Impatiens, probably Impatiens capensis

Yes, thank you. Also learned elsewhe 'Spotted touch-me-not',

Oping the dusky eyelids of the south,
Till shade and silence waken up as one,
And morning sings with a warm odorous mouth.
