very boggy soil. The flowers are yellow with red dots, and they are
moist inside.

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

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

As already said that it is Impatiens capensis (jewelweed). Round here
this is almost exclusively a plant of canal margins. (I know of one site
where it grows in marshy ground near a river.)

Mimulus guttatus (monkey flower) has also escaped into the wild in
Britain. It's another plant that turns up on canal banks, but also in
other wet habitats. But Mimulus luteus (blood drop emlets), from South
America, has more red on the petals. There are also hybrids to
complicate the matter further.

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

Would it be illegal for me to take a cutting of it?

Agreed, Impatiens. Not Mimulus.
