Wild Coco Orchid








Wild Coco Orchid (Eulophia alta).  A new, for me, species of Florida terrestrial orchid.  








Several specimens found near the roadside at the Babcock/Webb WMA in Punta Gorda, Florida.  





Some plants were in bloom, some not.  And some showed only leaves on the ground.






Although Olivia and I were excited about finding Wild Cocos, according to Hollywood there are much more exciting searches for terrestrial orchids.  Check out this link!

Here's the spot if you want to see them for yourself.

GPS Lat 26/50' 19.3" N

Plenty to see at "The Webb."  Take a walk and be amazed at this great multi-use WMA.
