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.
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.
Purple is the color of the bloom color of the Spotted Coral Root (Corallorhiza maculata).Specifically, the flowers and the stem are about the same purple to bronze color. But the flower has a white lip that is spotted purple. The center of the flower sports a yellow spot.
July to September is the bloom time of the Spotted Coral Root (Corallorhiza maculata).Specifically, this wild orchid blooms from mid-summer to early fall. It is a colorful sight during its flowering time. It prepares the way for fall with its purple foreshadowing the autumnal colors to come.
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.
One to two feet (30.48 - 60.96 centimeters) is the mature size of the Spotted Coral Root (Corallorhiza maculata).Specifically, this wild orchid is a welcoming sight to visitors of its streamside and woodsy environments. It likes to grow in colonies. So visitors will find it difficult to overlook the glories of this wild orchid during its summer to fall bloom times.
Corallorhiza maculata is the scientific, Latin or binomial name of the Spotted Coral Root.Specifically, the scientific name has at least two parts. The first identifies the genus as that of the coral rooted wild orchids, Corallorhiza. The second identifies the species as having spots, maculata. Other common names include Large Coral Root and Many-flowered Coral Root.
Both sides of the Mississippi River is the range of the Spotted Coral Root Orchid (Corallohriza maculata).Specifically, the wild orchid ranges as far northeastward as Maine. It may be found growing as far southeastward as Georgia. It extends northwestward all the way to Iowa and across the Mississippi River into Minnesota. Additionally, it can be found growing in Arizona, California, Nebraska, Texas and Washington.
Corallorhiza maculata is the scientific, Latin or binomial name of the Many-flowered Coral Root.Specifically, the scientific name has at least two parts. The first identifies the genus as that of coral root wild orchids, Corallorhiza. The second identifies the species as spotted, maculata. Other common names include Large and Spotted Coral Root Orchids.
Late March to May is the bloom time of the Spring Coral Root Orchid (Corallorhiza wisteriana).Specifically, this wild orchid blooms from early spring until early summer. The plant body parts merge seamlessly with their woodsy surroundings. But the white spotted bloom stands out in the plant's shaded environment.
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.
