The flower’s scientific name is Diphylleia grayi and it is a rare one as it can be found in very few parts of the world. It only grows in moist mountain areas in Japan, China, and the Appalachian Mountains. The process undergoing when water touches its petals is a result of the white flower’s loose cell structure.
