Frost flower
Thin layer of ice extruded from a plant / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the hoar-frost like crystals that grow on thin sea ice, see Frost flower (sea ice).
A frost flower or ice flower is formed when thin layers of ice are extruded from long-stemmed plants in autumn or early winter. The thin layers of ice are often formed into exquisite patterns, curling into "petals" which resemble flowers.
