Variety of their shapes.
Various shapes of leaves.
You remember what I said about the flowers having so many different shapes. The Creator has made the same variety in the shapes of leaves. He likes to make beautiful things in great variety for us to look at. Here I give you some figures of leaves, to show you how different their shapes are.
Here is a leaf which is shaped like the head of an arrow. There is a plant called arrow-head, because its leaf has this shape.
Here is one shaped very much like a lance, another is a good representation of a mason’s trowel, and a third is very much like a fiddle.
This is like a shield. The nasturtium the leaves of this kind. The stem is fastened to the leaf just where the hand holds on to a shield.
