Nature’s miracle: Skeleton flower changes shape in rain

New Delhi: The skeleton flower has special qualities, considering the most fascinating plants across the world. It changes its shape when it becomes wet, turns transparent, during the rain, attracting botanists, researchers, and nature lovers. The significant thing with the flower is that the moment the rain stops, it returns to its normal shape. It amazes everyone who sees it.

Skeleton flower is not found everywhere; it is native to the cool, shady mountains of Japan. It takes time to become mature, and damp and low-light areas are ideal for its growth. It is a deciduous perennial plant, meaning it sheds its leaves in the fall and regrows them in the spring. The size of the plant remains 1.3 feet tall, and its leaves are large and pointed as well; that makes it prominent.
