LOL!! Yes, sort of... These are the Frostweed, Verbesina virginica; a Texas native and host for butterflies...also in the fall are great nectar plants for the Monarch butterflies. I will post a picture of the flower. But they get their common name by putting on the ice like display of plant juices when the temps drop to freezing. Aren't they pretty!
