If you have a penchant for unusual plants, you may have heard of the skeleton flower, also known as Diphylleia grayi. The summertime blooms are what makes these perennials unique – they turn mostly transparent in the rain, leaving just their veining (or 'skeleton') and yellow centers prominent.
The large, bright green leaves are an additional highlight to these woodland plants and give them another common name: umbrella leaf. Look closely in the fall and you'll spot blue-hued berries, too, before the plants die back for their winter rest.
