Comment by streetpigeon:
I'm thinking that this is snow atop evergreen needles. Because of differences of the substrates, or anteceding actions, some snow has clumped together to form random patches, like flowers, perhaps mums. It's a peek into time, impermanence, as snow does disappear in wind, warmth and is covered over by ensuing falls. The monotone and contrast bring out the effect. An hour before or after might make all the difference. It also evokes the changing seasons.
Personal co-favorite of the challenge.
