I found this plant growing along a hiking path I use frequently. I saw a few of the blooms like this last year in another section of the same park, but they were almost gone when I found them. Can anone help me ID what they are? I can't find them in my wildflower books.

The bloom is about 24" high and that is a woody stem.

I'll post more when it blooms if I can catch it open.

Tech specs: canon 7d w/100-400L @ 100mm, f8, 1/250 sec, monopod.

IMO this is a wood (fast growing as shrubs/bush but not tree) growing between trees and may by in shadow areas (but not quite sure). In Europe we can see this plant in forest areas witl low tree density. But I'm not able to identify this plant.
