## Caption

Okay... so they aren't actually flowers. BUT, #FrostFlowers are still beautiful!

Frost flowers are delicate ice formations that form when water is drawn from plant stems and freezes upon contact with cold air, creating intricate, ribbon-like ice structures. They’re most commonly seen when the ground isn't frozen, but the air is cold enough to form ice.
