Four Leaves
The Back Story:
Leafy Patterns
The intricate patterns in a closely observed tree leaf comprise one of the most marvelous designs that Nature has created – beautiful as well as functional.
The “midrib” vein up the center divides the leaf in two and extends into the leafstalk which attaches to the stem. Smaller veins branch off in myriad directions, lending support to the leaf’s tissue, much like the ribs of an umbrella. The entire structure transports water and inorganic compounds into the leaf, and organic compounds such as oxygen produced by photosynthesis away from the leaf and into other parts of the plant via the
stem.
