My 4th wildflower find of summer...

Asemeia grandiflora - common name is Showy Milkwort. First time I've found this one on my patch and I thought it looked like a tiny orchid, but it's not. It is very delicate and the bloom is about the size of a dime. More info here - http://namethatplant.net/plantdetail.shtml?plant=3142 and especially here - http://www.southeasternflora.com/view_flora.php?plantid=629#

Thunderstorms expected off and on all day. Uploading while I can in case of power outage.

@blueberry1222 Thank you, Krista! Very close in color but they are in different families. I can see why it would remind you of fireweed. This is the only variety of fireweed or burnweed as it's called here that we have - http://namethatplant.net/plantdetail.shtml?plant=521
