More info please...
Where did you find it geographically speaking? (continent, country, state or province)
Where did you find it biome-ically speaking? (field, forest, garden, roadside)
Were there others around? Lots, few...
How tall was it?
What kind of leaves did it have?
At first blush it looks like a bachelor button past prime...but I doubt that's right.
EDIT: Guess some people don't need details like I do...

This is obviously the VERY rare water glass orchid most commonly found on countertops and kitchen tables.

Hello !
I think this nice flower could belong to the Passiflora family , one of the Passion flowers.
I just have found a nice web about them :
//www.passionflow.co.uk
Hope this could help.

It is the blossom that becomes Passion Fruit. The bloom is usually from 2 to 3 inches in diameter and multi-faceted, all components nesting in apple blossom-like cream colored petals. They are usually grown under special hothouse conditions in the USA. They grow wild all over Brazil as well as the domesticated variety that produces marketable fruit. An example of one wild variety I shot last November is here.

I have 2 kinds of passion flowers growing in my yard.
The kind in your picture was kind of interesting to start. It was a several day process of soaking the seeds in hot and cold water. The second kind grows like a weed and I have to pull it out of all my flower beds. They do produce small fruit and my iguanas like to eat them.

rsaulyte,
Looks like a columbine of some sort or possibly a clematis. Nothing like it here in the Rockies

I believe the one on the right is called "Passaflora purple haze"

Does the South count as 'special hothouse conditions'?
I only ask that 'cause the ones in the yard where I used to live could just about choke out the kudzu!!
