Hmm looks really crystaline ??? Could this be geologic in nature and not actually flowers? Someone should know here, the no shortage of smart people on reddit.
Geologist here too. I believe those are plagioclase crystals that have grown in a radial flower-like arrangement. The individual crystals looks like plagioclase feldspar based on the striations and the blueish hue. That said, it's really hard to identify minerals based on just a picture, so I could be completely wrong.
