This is a Rhexia species; Meadowbeauty
It looks like Smooth Meadowbeauty/Savanna Meadowbeauty (Rhexia alfanus) but it could be one of a couple of other species e.g., R. nashii, depending on whether it has glandular hairs on the back side of the petals.
See: http://www.namethatplant.net and search on Rhexia to see a list of the species, man with photos
