Hi, I took this picture in N.E. Florida about 20 miles inland from the

The flower looks like Cephalanthus occidentalis. Do you
have a picture of the leaves?

Hey thanks Phil!

That was the right one. I goodled it and it was a perfect match. Next
time I will make sure to get wider pics of plants I don't know to aid
in the ID.

Thanks!

One of the interesting aspects of identifying Cephalanthus is its habit
of changing its method of leaf attachment from branch to branch. You'll
find alternate, opposite, and whorled (usually 3s) branches all on the
same plant.
