I'm a lost little plant, what's my name?

What's this Plant filter?

Seems to be a 2-ft.-tallish volunteer in an abandoned pot on our back deck in southern coastal Oregon, but then again, it might just be something we forgot we planted.
TIA!

It looks like jewel weed, sometimes called touch me not (if you touch the seed pod when it's ripe, it explodes). Usually grows near poison ivy.
