This frost flower is one of the more symmetrical ice ribbons that dittany, water, and freezing temperatures produce. The brown stem in the middle of the photo is the plant that the water squeezed out of as it froze. I never know where I am going to see a frost flower, but the common dittany likes to grow at the edges of opennings in the woods. I found this one alongside our road on the way to bring back the trash can.
The #FrostFlowerFriday theme continues. Frost flowers have a number of names: frost faces, ice castles, ice blossoms, or the fancy one #crystallofolia. #photography #dittany #nature #frostflowers
I’ve waited four years for my Dictamnus albus to bloom and it’s about to! #bloomscrolling #dittany #poisonousplants 💚🌱☠️
The always fabulous #Dittany will be blooming in my garden for the first time since germinating three years ago. The sap’s phototoxic and the evaporating oils can combust in the air above the flowers on a warm day. Here’s a photo of what they look like #flowerreport #bloomscrolling 💚🌱 #poisonplants
