I found an old packet of seed in the shed labelled "annuals". I sowed them and these plants came up and flowered beautifully. The only thing is, I don't have a clue as to what they are, as I've never grown them before. Any help will be greatly appreciated It's may be something really obvious, but not for me...

Looks like they may be in the balsam family. But what do I know. Very little.

The leaf and stem habit DOES look like Balsam. But I have never seen a flower on Balsam that looks like that. May be a new one to me.
