Description

The spanish moss in New Orleans City Park wafts gently with the afternoon breeze. Dappled sunlight breaks through the canapy of the huge, old oaks, lighting up patches of moss and leaves.
Spanish moss was given its name by French explorers. Native Americans told them the plant was called Itla-okla, which meant “tree hair.” The French were reminded of the Spanish conquistadors’ long beards, so they called it Barbe Espagnol, or “Spanish Beard.” The Spaniards got back at them by calling the plant Cabello Francés, or “French Hair.” The French name won out, and as time went by Spanish Beard changed to Spanish moss. The plant is not parasitic but rather takes nutrients from airborne or waterborne debris. A natural filtration system.
