Even if spring's being flaky (again 🙃), the flowers never stop blooming underground.
⁠
Jewel Cave’s gypsum flower “blooms” are always in season... twisting, curling, and quietly stealing the show.
⁠
Above or below ground, don’t let wonder pass you by. #NationalParks #JewelCave

Close-up view of delicate white and translucent mineral formations known as gypsum flowers inside Jewel Cave. The crystals curl and twist like petals or ribbons, emerging from the cave wall in intricate shapes. Background shows brown and tan rock textures under low cave lighting.
