I have seen these before in GA! I was told they were solider fly larvae, so I think sonofives is correct
There are many cultivars of this species, in Georgia we have purple ones called Maypops. They are the coolest looking flowers but they will take over your garden! They are vines and their roots are shallow in the soil. You have to put blockades around the roots, like pieces of metal to prevent them from taking over the garden.
