Diphylleia grayi is the scientific name of a plant with white flowers, often living on wet and wooded mountain slopes, in cold climates of Japan and China. The leaves are large and shaped like umbrellas, and the flower clusters are small and pearly white. This is a perennial plant and can be 0.4m tall.
The plant blooms from mid spring to early summer in shady conditions. When dipped in water, the petals begin to gradually lose their white pigment and turn completely transparent. When dry, the petals will return to their original white color.

The reason why people give this pure white flower the name bone flower is because it can turn transparent when exposed to water, revealing veins on its wings that resemble a skeleton.
