old mans beard
Gray tree draping
Old man's beard refers to several plants with stringy, hair-like growths resembling a white beard.
Most commonly it's a name for Spanish moss, the gray lichen that drapes from trees in the American South, or for clematis vines whose fluffy seed heads create similar wispy masses.
The name also applies to certain lichens that hang from tree branches in northern forests.
