Many flowers have extraordinary properties, but the Diphylleia grayi has an actual superpower; when the petals get wet, they turn from white to completely transparent, like glass. Native to the mountainous woodlands of Japan, it's also known as the Skeleton Flower, due to its eerie characteristic. This "Invisible Man" of the plant kingdom is intriguing to watch, but incredibly annoying to bees and butterflies.
