Did someone tell them to get flocked?
It's fascinating how different temperatures, humidity, etc. create different ice crystal formations.
Makes the "frosted" artificial stems inside look a bit subdued.
How do nurseries keep their somewhat tender plants in pots from looking as bad as mine do during the winter? Surprising how much difference this covering makes. (Not so much where it really gets cold, but here it does.) We'll take a peek at the sale inside later this week!
There are few things as beautiful as the icy crystals of real frost... Especially when the sun shines. Then the world is positively magical!
ReplyDeleteLove frost pictures, yours are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love a heavy frosting in the garden, but I've never taken a drive out of town in order to find it. You're dedicated! :)
ReplyDeleteOh that I had time to pull out the coverings like that!
ReplyDeleteNatural frost is always better than the artificial version, the ice crystals in your photos are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThose are pretty frosty photos, better there than here. Oh no! I meant to contact you about the fox slinkies before you went back. Maybe next year.
ReplyDeleteI so enjoyed the frost patterns while we had them. Not the frost is washed away and we are back to dark, dreary days.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Peter.
ReplyDeleteThat's flocking awesome!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. It's that frost without the deep freeze that is so pleasant and lovely. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! I had frost like that around Thanksgiving, but not this time around.
ReplyDeleteAmazing detail. I love how each crystal develops on top of another! Gorgeous pics, Peter!
ReplyDeleteFew things as pretty as frosted conifers.
ReplyDeleteYou're a far better person, I would have been making flocking jokes all day....
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful, natural surprise!
