A Surprise During A Freeze

I've posted about Frostweed before!
It is a wonderful plant that grows 6-8 feet tall and has flowers that attract butterflies and bees.


It is a favorite of the Monarch butterflies.
They flock to it when they migrate through Texas south to Mexico every October!


When it freezes for the first time every winter these amazing ice sculptures emerge!


Here are the latest cool photos I took when the temperatures dove down below freezing a week ago!
