Description pretty colour ....don't know why they grow here !!  Wild Orchid in North America

Native Orchids

North America is full of wonderful wild orchids. No matter where you live or travel to, there are bound to be some orchid species native to the area. Many species are very showy and easy to spot, while others are very discreet and very easily overlooked.

A great way to familiarize yourself with native orchids is to visit local botanical gardens because most will have a native plant exhibit. You can also search for local orchid societies to find out whether they hold any wild orchid group tours or outings. If you’re not really sure what to look for, a guided tour will help give you some guidance in finding wild orchids. There are also many good native orchid field guides to help you identify the native orchids in the area.

Remember, it is important to never remove a wild orchid from its environment. Not only it is illegal, but many orchid species are endangered and it can disrupt the ecosystem’s balance and endanger other flora and fauna.

Below, we’ll review the most commonly found wild orchids in North America
