Spanish moss doesn’t just belong to the South because it thrives in humid climates and does not like prolonged temperatures below 25 degrees. It is symbolic of our culture because, like us, it’s enigmatic and “hard to figure.” It’s been described as both spooky (Deliverance) and genteel (Steel Magnolias).
