Spanish Moss

Tillandsia usneoides

Description:

Spanish moss is an epiphyte which absorbs nutrients (especially calcium) and water from the air and rainfall. The plant consists of a slender stem bearing alternate thin, curved or curly, heavily scaled leaves

Habitat:

On trees near a large pond between the information and education buildings at the Armand Bayou Nature Center.

Notes:

Upper Texas Coast (UTC 081) ARMAND BAYOU NATURE CENTER: A system of nature trails honeycombs the property, and the center operates a pontoon boat that plies the waters of Armand Bayou. ABNC staff and volunteers have spent countless hours restoring several hundred acres of coastal prairie, and grassland species such as Sedge Wren and Le Conte’s Sparrow are not difficult to find here. ABNC staff is available to answer questions about when and where to bird in the Clear Lake area.
