Echeveria pup, sea salted with morning frost…Good enough to eat.
My entry for this months “Winter’s Beauty” garden photography competition http://www.gardeninggonewild.com

It does look scrumptious! Good luck :-)
Thanks Ms.S,
I devoured five that day, if I remember correctly.
Oh my that is a beautiful shot….looks sugar coated!
Great shot and good enough to eat. I just looked at Austin’s forecast for the week. Looks like you might get a few more frosty scenes. Good luck with your entry.
What a great picture! I love it when the frost paints the plants, and the hen and chicks are great in the winter.
Hi Susie.
I agree, they would look great in a chocolate box!
Hi Jenny and thanks.
This was the only frosty picture I have taken this year, so it was an easy choice to pick as my entry.
More frost?…I knew it!
Thanks Healingmagichands. We have had quite a few frosts already this year in Central Texas, and it looks like more on the horizon. Last year it did not freeze at all. I like the frost as well, at least for a while, it better not take my Mexican lime tree though.
Usually I’m the only esp around but when I submitted my photo entry on gardeninggonewild.com, I saw that you were there before me with your stunning shot. Congratulations.
Beautiful shot, the plant’s rosette shape makes a nice contrast to the crystals.
Thank you.
I just checked in on this plant today and the rosettes have got smaller…I hope it makes it!
Sugar coated undersea flowers, or something along those lines. Gorgeous as always, ESP.
Hi Ellen.
It seems we share something in common ESP!
Thanks.
Hi Pam.
Exactly!
Thank you Pam. It was THE only frost shot I have taken this year…no image gallery searching this time!
Looks like we have some more on the way.
ESP.
Lovely, ESP! Good luck for the competition!
Thanks Jack and welcome to the Patch.
They look like minature “blue” roses. So pretty. Good luck!
Hi Melody.
They do now you come to mention it. Thanks and welcome to the ESP.
the beauty of ice crystal formations, nature’s design and your capture… quite stunning.
Thank you Diana.
This tiny rosette was just about as perfect as it can get, the frosting an added bonus…Tony the tiger would be proud of this little succulent.
What a beautiful photo. Good luck. :)
Thank you Kate.
I love the form of echeverias to begin with, and the crystals are just the ice-ing on the cake.
Hi Helen.
Me too, and I have to confess I did eat this one :-)
Wow, it’s gorgeous, hope it survives!
Hi Linda…me too!
Let me go check on it…
yes, surprisingly it is doing just fine.
