#FOTD: Frozen mums

Frozen mums in my Flagstaff garden, January 20, 2017.

For Cee’s Flower of the Day photo challenge.

When I lived in Flagstaff, I left plants and flowers standing after frost kill, because they provided wildlife habitat and protection for the crown of the plant (and because I was lazy). I’m not a winter person, but I learned to look closely to appreciate the textures of flower heads and stalks in the snow.
