This was taken at the Savannah NWR, across the river in South Carolina. The blossom is maybe 5/8" tall.

Phil,

Pretty sure its a Leather Flower (Clematis crispa) or certianly one of the species in the genus Clematis, all are vines having attractive, vase shaped flowers with considerable variation in color including shades of white, violet or pink. Hope this helps.
