  2. Frost flower (sea ice) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frost_flower_(sea_ice)

    By contrast, salt-water frost flowers are more common -- especially in cold, polar regions. [3] [5] Sea ice is often broken apart by winds, tides and currents, leading to open water ‘leads’ that are exposed to extremely cold air temperatures. When these leads freeze over, forming thin ice, frost flowers often form in dense concentrations.

    Mock cream or buttercream is a simple buttercream made by creaming together butter and powdered sugar to the desired consistency and lightness. Some or all of the butter can be replaced with margarine, or shortening. [1] [2] A small amount of milk or cream is added to adjust the texture.

    Types of frost flowers include needle ice, frost pillars, or frost columns, extruded from pores in the soil, and ice ribbons, rabbit frost, or rabbit ice, extruded from linear fissures in plant stems. [1] The term "ice flower" is also used as synonym for ice ribbons, but it may be used to describe the unrelated phenomenon of window frost as well.

  6. Frost - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frost

    Window frost (also called fern frost or ice flowers) forms when a glass pane is exposed to very cold air on the outside and warmer, moderately moist air on the inside. If the pane is a bad insulator (for example, if it is a single-pane window), water vapour condenses on the glass, forming frost patterns.

  7. Ice spike - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_spike

    Water expands by 9% as it freezes. Occasionally the surface can freeze over except for a small hole; the continuing freezing and expansion of water that is below the surface ice then slowly pushes the remaining water up through the hole. Reaching very cold air, the edge of the extruded water freezes while remaining liquid in the center.

  8. Oshibana - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oshibana

    Oshibana (押し花) is the art of using pressed flowers and other botanical materials to create an entire picture from these natural elements. [1] Such pressed flower art consists of drying flower petals and leaves in a flower press to flatten them, exclude light and press out moisture. These elements are then used to "paint" an artistic ...
