Look beautiful, but the real truth is different. This one is not a native plant, was brought to Florida for decoration and now the Brazilian pepper tree (Schinus terebinthifolius) is one of the most tenacious, difficult-to-control invasive plants in Florida, exerting a devastating ecological and economic impact in the area.
(Spanish: Se ve bonita pero esta planta no es una nativa de Florida, al contrario es una invasora que esta afectando fuertemente la ecologia de Florida).

Spanish Moss is a very important component of the Florida woodland and landscape. Is not truly a moss or parasitic, it absorbs nutrients and water through its leaves from the air and rainfall. I love it because is a truly beautiful natural decoration on trees.
(Spanish: El Musgo Español es una planta aérea que se encuentra por todo Florida. No es parásito ni musgo en si ya que se alimenta de aire y lluvia. Me encanta, ya que es como adorno natural en los arboles).
