   Is this moss hanging from a pergola-like structure? Did you just buy the moss and decorate with it? Very cool.

   I can't grow spanish moss in my zone but I could try to get the same effect with dichondra silver falls hanging in hidden pots from a big ash in my back yard. Oooh. Thanks for the idea. Watering is going to be a challenge.

   Hi gottagarden,
   The Spanish Moss is on a Pepper tree. We had two lovely old Pepper trees on our property but they both died from Oak Root Fungus. This one luckily my husband had already started the moss on it. The other one we tried to use as a trellis for climbing roses. It was gorgeous but after a few years, the disease took the roses too. We have since planted Chinese Wisteria on it which is thriving some five years later. Chinese Wisteria is resistent to oak Root Fungus. Back to the moss.. my husband bought a sprig of it at a garage sale in Laguna Beach, CA some 13 years ago. Shortly after we moved here and he brought it with him. As it grew he moved sprigs here and there amongst the branches and this is the result. It is know as Danny's Spanish Moss Tree. We do water it, more so in the Summer, it gets the precious tiny flowers on it iin July. I like the "Moss Room" it has created, a secluded little spot to have a refreshment. Glad you like it.

   Hi deladybex,
   My husband who has some allergic reactions does not have any reactions to the moss.

   Yes, you can print and frame this picture. Thanks so much.

   This photo easily could have been taken in New Orleans, I think I'm in love! How cool is it that all this glorious moss came from a sprig? Dreamy...

   Oh my gosh, how dreamy, just beckoning you to come sit and relax!! I am envious. No where in my yard is there a place to even try something like this. Not in Zone 3-4

    Hi Sheila,
    Yes, all from a sprig and you can't imagine how much moss my husband has given away and sold. Spanish moss, staghorn ferns and now small trees are his specialities, oh and topiary.
    He's a wonder in the garden...
    Thank you for your comments. I llke them.

    IF you are of a certain age and/or cultural awareness, you might get an 'Aha!' chuckle when I say that My Love just mentioned that it should be called ZZ Top moss!!
    How cool! Thanks for sharing.

    Your photo brought back fond memories of my beautiful little canyon-side garden when I lived in San Diego in the 1980s. There was a pepper tree naturally draped in Spanish moss, the perfect place for table, chairs, and a comfy lounge. It was my all-time favorite garden, and I still miss it.

    For bectoria 7: I don't know if Spanish Moss grows here in the Pacific Northwest, but I have noticed something similar draping Madrona trees in shaded areas. You might want to check with your local extension office to see what it is.
