    Description

    Flower ports are created by water that exploits cracks and eventually removes the material between the flowerpot and the main rock face. The water smooths and round the rock of the flowerpot. The flowerpots at Indian Brook were created several thousands of years ago when lake levels were significantly higher than they are today.
