Taxodium ascendens, also known as Pond Cypress, is a deciduous conifer of the genus Taxodium, native to North America. Many botanists treat it as a variety of Bald Cypress, Taxodium distichum (as T. distichum var. imbricarium) rather than as a distinct species, but it differs in ecology, occurring mainly in still blackwater rivers, ponds and swamps without silt-rich flood deposits. It predominates in cypress dome habitats.

5:11, Tillandsias ? Hail from Brasil !

[@valhallajones3865]

Ah, Spanish moss, the epiphytic plant that is not a moss and does not come from Spain. Tillandsia usneoides is a bromeliad native to the Americas. Of course, it is related to another Bromeliad, the pineapple, which is neither a pine nor an apple.

That background piano racket is very annoying and adds nothing to the video. !!!
