3) Frozen grass
4) Lonicera caprifolium
5) Salix integra 'Flamingo'
6) Salix Matsudana

Excellent pictures Wim, particularly the Salix integra 'Flamingo'.  Some of the crystals in the more closeup shots just look so intricate.  Great Stuff!!  8)
Cheers.

Beautiful show Wim !!  8)
As we only live 30 km or so from one another (we should try and meet in the forthcoming months), we had the same wonderful phenomenon here as well but as I'm working (....) sadly, no pix..  :'(

Hello Luc,

I certainly would like to meet you. But maybe we should wait until the weather is getting warmer. Unless you're going to the Snowdrop gala at Cathy's?

I've never met you Mark, so it should be a different Wim.
