Dry woodlands is the habitat of the Small Coral Root (Corallorhiza odontorhiza).
Specifically, this wild orchid can survive drought. It likes the nutrient rich soils formed from decomposing leaf litter in woodlands. It also prefers the filtered light prevalent in such situations of layered growth of vegetation from the ground up through the tree canopy.
Moist woodlands is the habitat of the Spring Coral Root Orchid (Corallorhiza wisteriana).Specifically, this wild orchid does not carry on photosynthesis. It has no need for intense or strong light in its environments. It in fact thrives along stream margins and in moist woods, ravines and swamps.
Moist woodlands is the habitat of Wister's Coral Root Orchid (Corallorhiza wisteriana).Specifically, this wild orchid is not involved in photosynthesis. It therefore prefers shade to intense or strong light. It thrives in stream banks and swamps as well as moist, rich ravines and woods.
Moist woodlands is the habitat of the Early Southern Coral Root Orchid (Corallorhiza wisteriana).Specifically, this wild orchid carries on absolutely no photosynthesis. It does not need to be in environments where the sunlight is intense or strong. It in fact fluorishes in moist ravines and woods as well as stream banks and swamps.
Woodlands are the habitat of the Crested Coral Root (Hexalectris spicata).Specifically, this wild orchid does not carry on photosynthesis. It does not need strong light. It in fact favors the moist, nutrient rich and shaded environments of open deciduous forests and woodland stream banks.
August to October is the bloom time of the Small Coral Root (Corallorhiza odontorhiza).Specifically, this wild orchid blooms from late summer through about halfway into fall. It is easy to pass by before, during and after the bloom. The small flowers tend not to open at all on this slender wild orchid whose colors harmonize with its surroundings.
Steam banks and woodlands are the habitat of the Large Coral Root (Corallorhiza maculata).Specifically, this wild orchid fluorishes in the nutrient rich soils of woodlands. It especially likes the filtered light and shade that such an environment offers. But it also may be found in the moisture and nutrient rich soils along stream banks.
Steam banks and woodlands are the habitat of the Spotted Coral Root (Corallorhiza maculata).Specifically, this wild orchid favors the nutrient rich soils of woodlands. It also likes the filtered light and shade that such an environment offers. But it also may be found along the moisture and nutrient rich soils of stream banks.
Damp nutrient rich land is the habitat of the Pale Coral Root (Corallorhiza trifida).Specifically, this wild orchid favors soil that is moist and rich in the nutrients necessary for life sustaining processes within plants. It finds both needs met in damp thickets and woods. But it also flourishes in swamps.
Dry woodlands is the habitat of the Late Coral Root (Corallorhiza odontorhiza).Specifically, this wild orchid can tolerate drought. It likes the nutrient rich soils that form from decomposing leaf litter in woodlands. It also prefers the filtered light in such environments of layered growth of vegetation from ground level up through the tree canopy.
Steam banks and woodlands are the habitat of the Many-flowered Coral Root (Corallorhiza maculata).Specifically, this wild orchid favors the nutrient rich soils of woodlands. It particularly likes the filtered light and shade that characterize such environments. But it also may be found in the moisture and nutrient rich soils of stream banks.
Predominantly east of the Mississippi is the range of the Small Coral Root (Corallorhiza odontorhiza).Specifically, the wild orchid grows as far northeastward as Maine. It is found as far southeastward as Florida. It ranges as far southwestward as Texas and as far northwestward as across the Mississippi and into southeastern Nebraska.
Dry woodlands is the habitat of the Autumn Coral Root (Corallorhiza odontorhiza).Specifically, this wild orchid is drought tolerant. It likes the nutrient rich soils that form from the decomposing leaf litter in woodlands. It also prefers the filtered light that prevails in such a situation of layered growth of vegetation from ground level up through the tree canopy.
