A delicate ice crystal formation that resembles a flower and grows on cold surfaces, or a plant that blooms during frosty conditions.
A poetic compound of 'frost' and 'flower.' The phenomenon it describes—ice crystals arranging themselves in flower-like patterns—is a real natural occurrence, especially on windows and ice surfaces.
Frostflowers are actually real—when water seeps from under ice and hits sub-zero air, it crystallizes into these incredible flower-shaped formations that look like nature's art, and some scientists now study them to understand ice crystal growth.
