Orchid-like, seed pod that can burst into seeds

I need to determine what this plant might be. I don't know the full size of the plant, as all I have is a cutting, but I'm putting links here to pictures of the flower, the seed pod and the entire cutting. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it!

Thanks! And thanks for all the warm welcomes!

Hi MPyrzynski Welcome!

I think your plant looks like Impatiens balsamina (commonly called "Balsam").

Impatiens balsamina

Plant scent

It has a very faint smell to it. You can't really detect it unless you're up very close. However, I've only smelled the cutting. I wonder if you have a whole plant or many of them if the smell is stronger.
