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!


















Verbesina virginica, the white crownbeard, or frostweed is a species of flowering plant in the aster family. It is native to the Southeastern United States, where it is found in calcareous soil, often in bottomland thickets and edges of woods. It is a tall biennial species. Source
