Hi guys,
So I looked into it a little more and was a bit confused as well because the S. stellaris typically blooms from July to October, but it also ranges further Northeast. Those websites were more about the Northeast anyways and usually here in Florida plants blooms earlier. S. grandiflora is more common in Florida, but I believe this is S. stellaris. To reduce confusion I have added the Orlando Wetlands Park Photo Gallery which has it identified. One site was recommending to look at the stems to differentiate. Below are the links for visual comparisons:

I think I took a picture of the same species at Orlando wetlands that someone identified as a Rose of Plymouth (Sabatia stellaris). Do you know how I can differentiate between the two? If yours is right I have a feeling mine is the same as yours.
