Can anybody give me a lead to its ID? I can't even begin to recognise
the family.

Impatians, sometimes called Balsam.

It looks like Impatiens (Balsam) to me!! The leaves in the second photo
are different.

the first one looks very like impatiens, the second one doesn't at all (to
me, anyway).

there are a lot of things that share flower-forms; it's not always wise to
go by what the flowers look like. impatiens has that particular looking stem
& growth though, which was not easy to see in either pic.(?)
