Skeleton flowers are unique flowers which turn transluscent upon exposure to water and rain. Its white petals become completely clear then they transform back to their original milky white color once dry. The petals themselves are thin and delicate and have a rounded umbrella shape.
The ¨Skeleton Flower¨ is found in only three locations in the world. The flower is known to grow in colder areas of China and Japan, and in the United States’ Appalachian Mountains. The Diphelleia grayi has large leaves with bright green and yellow centers, which make the shape of an umbrella.
The Skeleton Flower is a deciduous perennial. The flowers are so thing and fragile, that the moisture causes this strange transluscent effect. In most cases, caring for skeleton flower plants is low maintenance.
