A trophic cascade starts at the top of the food chain and tumbles to the bottom. One of the best examples of this happened in Yellowstone National Park in 1995 when wolves were reintroduced.

Diphylleia grayi has white petals that turn transparent upon contact with water. During light rain showers, the petals become clear as glass, hence it's name "skeleton flower."
The plant can be found growing on moist, wooded mountainsides in the colder regions of Japan and China in late spring.
