Natural sculpture.

I came out side this morning andsaw what looked like trash in the fence line. I was somewhat agitated and went to investigate what looked like white grocery bags. When I came up to it it seemed the bags were attached to the plant stems. To my surprise it was ice. It seems that this ice had formed around he bases of he plants. I found this mid day so I don't know if there was ice farther up that may have melted. I took some pics with my phone. They are very pretty. It amazes me the beauty one finds in the natural world. I found the curves and lines pretty. It is hard to see the fine detail but they look like ribbon candy with fine lines in them. I assume the process to create both are similar is some way.
If you are scientifically savvy and can give me insight into this phenomenon I would be grateful.
