Frost Flowers
Nov 24, 2014 19:45:24 #
I was cutting my pasture last week and noticed these white things on the ground .I was mad because I thought someone had left thrash there . To my surprise they were ice crystals and later on they are called Frost flowers. All had was my I phone and took these photos. Can someone help make them look a little better for I would like to enlarge them to 8x10 . Thanks

Yea me too. If you Google Frost Flowers the are other names rabbit ice,ice ribbons,etc. It will also explain how they are formed.

They are very fragile and thin. I just wish I had my camera. I left it on the kitchen counter. They are real interesting and 6 to 8 inches across. They were in the shade and within 30 feet maybe 20 of them.

i researched them a little more and it is kind of rare that they form. Conditions have to just right and at the right time of year. Thanks for the comment.
