This orchid can be found in moist pine flatwoods, wet meadows and wet roadsides and moist to somewhat dry natural habitats from Virginia south through Florida, westward into Louisiana (zones 7a to at least 10b). It has sometimes white (the var. albiflorus), but mostly pale pink to occasionally magenta, flowers. It is native to the U.S. In Florida it is found in many counties throughout much of the state.
