These great trees draped with Spanish moss seem to dream a bit over the quiet brown waters of the swamp. Spanish moss is the most ubiquitous member of a large family of flowering plants embracing over 1600 species, most of which occur in Central and South America.Eight species are fairly common in southeastern US, most of them confined to the swamps and hammocks of peninsular Florida.Species native to this country are all epiphytic, including the Spanish Moss, and do not harm the trees on which they grow.
