This is Nuttall's Meadowbeauty
It can be pink, yellow or white
It is not endangered in Florida
In other states, we aren't sure of its plight.

(As described in the article linked below,  this plant is currently "rare or questionable" in other southeastern states and needs to be reviewed.)

Location: St. Sebastian River Preserve State Park, Fellsmere
