When it rains the white petals of Diphylleia Grayi also known as skeleton flowers, turn crystal clear.

What's this? Skeleton flowers (Diphylleia grayi), whose petals appear transparent when wet. When the petals dry out, they look like regular flowers again. Bizarre and beautiful, yes?

asymbol of transformation and resiliance. it's ability to change it's appearance in response to it's environment is seen as a metaphor for adaptation

Inktober Day 31

Late post since I was out all day both on Halloween and today whoops. Buut- last doodle for Inktober! No complex meaning for this one, just wanted to play with the fact that, when hit by rain, Skeleton Flowers turn transparent.

I can see it very well, your soul...

Because the genuine sparkles in your eyes...

Are just as beautiful and transparent as the skeleton flowers after the rain.
