Frost Flowers: Nature's Crystal Artwork

These are frost flowers one of the prettiest weather wonders on Earth — thin,

icy ribbons that look like frozen petals growing right out of plants! They form when the

ground is still warm, but the air is below freezing. Water inside the

stem gets squeezed out through tiny cracks…and the cold air freezes it into paper-thin curls

of ice. Each frost flower is unique, and they can be so delicate they

melt at a single touch. A rare winter sight that looks like nature’s own crystal

artwork.
