Many an ill-informed hunter or camper in Florida has resorted to Spanish Moss for certain sanitary uses. Softer than Charmin.

Live oaks differ from the oaks you have in the north. One thing about them, they need regular care by a knowledgeable arborist. They will rot from the inside out. Every time we have a strong thunder storm they have a house with a live oak in it on TV. As big as they are they make a real impression on a house. I have two on my property, and have them checked every year.
The plant dripping from the live oak (Quercus virginiana) is Spanish Moss (Tillandsia usneoides). It grows throughout the Americas, wherever heat and humidity are adequate for its survival. It's a bromeliad, related to the pineapple.
