The Skeleton Flower magically transforms into glassy, crystal-clear blossoms when it rains
The Diphylleia grayi or Skeleton Flower’s large, fizzy green, umbrella-shaped leaves are topped with small clusters of beautiful pearly white flowers that bloom from mid-spring to early summer. Oddly, as the petals of the flowers are soaked with water, they lose their white pigmentation and turn into magnificent crystal-clear flowers. Once they dry out, the coloring slowly returns and the flowers turn powdery white again.
