This is actually a very diverse orchid....it grows from the Carolinas, southward down the whole east coast, and right around just about the whole Gulf coast. It grows well in cool, intermediate, and hot climates, seems to prefer medium light, and even seems a little drought hardy. This plant thrives with very little attention, and pretty much grows like a little weed. Hope this helps.
