Walk 23: Cobweb Covered... Ball Moss, Maybe?
summerjade > albums > ''A+'' Weekend Photo Walks~ Winter ...
Album Info:
Epiphytes, like ball moss, are plants that attach themselves to various trees and shrubs as well as fences, utility lines, and a wide assortment of other objects that might be handy. At first a falling seed, that is rather sticky to the touch, becomes coincidentally attached to a structure. But it then forms pseudo-roots that help it stay in place. These are not true roots that would absorb water and minerals. The resultant plant, therefore, is not a parasite, for it obtains all its nutrients from the air and falling debris.
