Hard Frost


Forecast low temperature for last night has held at 26 degrees for days.  We usually experience lows of three or four lower than the forecast.  All we know for certain is that last night we were hit with an unusually hard frost.


Many of the Daffodils displayed damaged stems.  Tomorrow will show if the damage is permanent.


All of our stones displayed no frost damage.


These Coral Bells limited the frost to leaf edges.


Ladies Mantle are reported to provide water droplets with cosmetic power.  Here we see them frozen.


This Grape Hyacinth may not recover.


Clove Currant leaves also limit the frost to leaf edges.  How does that happen?


This newly emerged Valerian will be checked for damage tomorrow.


Frost coated Catnip leaves are simply beautiful. How can anything so harsh look so cool?

Beautiful frost patterns and arrangements. Specially like the frost on the stones.
