In one cemetery, I was surprised to see a number of cedar elms hosting some large populations of Spanish moss (Tillandsia usneoides). It's not uncommon in trees right next to bodies of water, but the average humidity in this region seems to decline too rapidly to sustain significant populations elsewhere. With that said, this is reasonably close to the Blanco River, and I suppose geographic factors might keep it humid enough to support them.
The most interesting thing was that the live oaks here, despite being the stereotypical tree associated with Spanish moss, didn't have any on them, at least not to any significant degree. I have no idea why there would be such a discrepancy, but clearly something about the cedar elms in this location works out better for the usneoides.
