Flower Skeleton That Becomes Transparent In The Rain!

The skeleton flower or Diphylleia grayi is a white flower of the Diphylleia variety, but it has an amazing and very charming characteristic that distinguish it from other factions ... It becomes transparent as glass when exposed to water!

During the rainy season, these flowers turn into a glossy, crystal-like transparency in the amazing phenomenon, which is why it is called the "skeletal flower," which is a little strange but understandable. Why did not they call it "crystal" or "glass" flower? They are likely to remain normal white most of the time until the winter season and rainfall. The "rain" is then "stripped" of the petals of that flower from its outer skin and reveals its internal structure.

These flowers generally grow in moist and mountainous areas of Japan and China. They are identified by their large leaves that resemble a canopy and white flowers that grow up to a height of half a meter. When it is wet, it begins to lose its white color and becomes completely transparent, but when it is dry, it returns to its original white color.

By the way, when I searched for the origin of the word I found that the name of the flower is derived from the Greek word phyllon which means "paper" and grayi meaning "gray" meaning that the Latin scientific meaning Diphylleia grayi means gray paper flower. You do not have the odd name of the "skeleton flower." So, in the end you know that the Japanese and the Chinese have a different vision and culture that we are surprised at all the time!
