Unidentified Wildflower HELP!

16 years ago

Hello!

I live in Alabama. We are doing a plant project at school and we need to find what type of wildflower the attached is to help us with our studies. I will be attaching two different pictures of the white wildflower found on Ruffner Mountain one summer ago. If you could help by telling me the type of flower it is (the genus and species name would be helpful) it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You!
