There is a type of orchid called grass pink. The scientific name is calopogon.
East of the Mississippi River is the range of the pale grass pink orchid (Calopogon callidus).Specifically, the orchid is found as far north as southeastern Virginia in the eastern United States of America. It is found as far south as Florida. The orchid may be found as far west as Louisiana.
May to July is the bloom time of the pale grass pink orchid (Calopogon pallidus).Specifically, the orchid blooms from late spring to mid-summer. The flower color shows considerable variation. But whatever the color, it adds a bright note to the open spaces that the orchid favors.
Open, moisture-retaining land is the habitat of the grass-leaved ladies' tresses orchid (Spiranthes praecox).Specifically, the orchid may be found in bogs or marshes. Or it also may favor meadows and low open woods. A particularly cheery location is its establishment in roadside banks.
One to two (1-2) feet (30.48 - 60.96 centimeters) is the mature size of the pale grass pink orchid (Calopogon pallidus).Specifically, the orchid gives a tall, slender look. The flowers appear long the sides of the stalk. Leaves appear only at the plant's base.
Nutrient rich wet land is the habitat of the Grass Pink (Calopogon pulchellus).Specifically, this wild orchid has critical needs for moisture and nutrients. It meets those needs in bogs and swamps. But it also thrives in wet meadows and savannahs.
Calopogon pallidus is the scientific name of the pale grass pink orchid.Specifically, the genus "Calopogon" is characterized by a "beautiful beard" of hairs clustering around the part of the flower where pollinators cluster. The species "pallidus" is characterized by pale colors, such as the pale grass pink orchid's range from pale pink to white. The plant's stem is slender with grasslike foliage.
White with yellow tinges and green lines is the color of the grass-leaved ladies' tresses orchid (Spiranthes praecox).Specifically, the orchid is characterized by its yellow tinges and its light green radiating lines. The flowers may be arranged in loose or tight spiral arrangements up and down the stalk. They are may be all on one side. There is quite a bit of variability in terms of its positioning.
April and May is the bloom time of the Bearded Grass Pink (Calopogon barbatus.).Specifically, this wild orchid blooms in middle and late spring. It is quite a sight to see since all of the flowers fully open at the very same time. Visitors particularly relish the sight in pine lands, where the orchid stands out more than in the more flower power environments of meadows and savannahs.
Four inches to over four feet (10.16 centimeters - 1.2192 meters) is the mature size of the Grass Pink (Calopogon pulchellus).Specifically, this wild orchid can vary considerably in mature height. But the plant does not need to grow waist high to be noticed. Its bloom is a spectacularly bright pink.
East of the Mississippi River is the range of the Grass Pink Orchid (Pogonia ophioglossoides).Specifically, the wild orchid ranges as far northeastward as Maine. It may be found growing as far southeastward as Florida. It grows northeastward from Kentucky all the way to the Mississippi River and into Minnesota. It can be found in Missouri.
Six inches to 1-1/2 feet (15.24 - 45.72 centimeters) is the mature size of the Bearded Grass Pink (Calopogon barbatus).Specifically, this wild orchid gives an elegantly uncluttered look with its slender, willowy stem. The stem is topped by its flowery spring cluster. It sports one or two six inch (15.24 centimeters) grass like leaves at its base.
