Spanish Moss -- Bloomin' Tuesday

Tillandsia usneoides, Spanish Moss, Florida Moss, Long Moss, Graybeard is not related to either mosses or lichens. It is of the Bromeliad Family and yes it does flower as seen below.Epiphtic plants grow on another plant, they do not rely on the host plant for nutrients, epiphytes make their own food. It was harvested for years as stuffing for automobile seats, furniture and mattresses. Some songbirds use the plant as building materials. Warblers and Bats are fond of it.
It's time for Bloomin' Tuesday over at http://msgreenthumbjean.blogspot.com

Happy May!
