"Skeleton Flowers" Become Transparent When It Rains

There is nothing more attractive in nature than a beautiful flower. Some are bright as can be, some come with amazing smells and color combinations, and some just do things completely different – just like the unique skeleton flower.

Diphylleia grayi, the scientific name of the transparent flower, can be found in only three parts of the world. The plant grows on moist, wooded mountainsides in colder regions of Japan, China and the Appalachian Mountains in the United States, and is instantly recognizable by the rare flowers' large, umbrella-like leaves.
