    Answer

    Dear Zac, good afternoon. You've photographed a species of Circaea (enchanter's-nightshade), a native member of the Onagraceae. I can't tell you which of the two species is present because I can't see necessary details in the photographs. If you have more images from further back (i.e., a habit shot), I would be able to assist further. Best wishes.
