First Landing State Park, at the Northern edge of Virginia Beach,
has the northernmost stand of Spanish Moss on the East Coast...
Spanish Moss is an epiphyte, or air plant, which has no roots...
It hangs from tree branches and gets it's moisture from humidity and rain...
nutrients from tree leaching and whatever detritus blows into the plants...
Cool stuff...
Took a bike ride through here today...
Very pretty with all the fresh, new, Spring growth...
Among other uses, Spanish Moss is the traditional
stuffing for Voodoo Dolls...
