On the trail coming back from the marshes and river you walk along beside a cut, and at one point cross a small bridge with a huge Live Oak branch just about face height.
Why would I grab a shot before continuing… the Resurrection Fern covering the branch, and some Spanish Moss.
Resurrection Fern attaches to a tree and absorbs water along the branch and the air. When hot and dry the plant shrivels and turns brown. Get a bit of humidity, fog, or rain it ‘resurrects’ itself and comes back to life…thick and green.
Its a southern swamp thing, like Spanish Moss, and very cool. A fun factoid.
