Say hello to the Skeleton Flower - or, Diphelleia grayia - a white, woodland blossom whose petals turn crystal clear when they come in contact with water. And when they dry out, they go right back to pasty white.
Skeleton Flowers grow most commonly on moist, wooded mountainsides in cooler climates, and can only be found in three places in the world...
Japan, China and the Appalachian Mountains in the United States.
They're easily recognizable with their large, umbrella-like leaves coupled with small clusters of pearly white blossoms...
Which undergo quite the transformation when it rains.
