Bean plant by a window

A bean plant grows in a pot on a windowsill. Its stem bends toward the light, its leaves face the window, and a pod holds new seeds.

In the picture

  1. The curved stem: it leans toward the bright window.
  2. A broad leaf facing the window: its surface catches sunlight.
  3. A green pod: it holds round bean seeds.

Examples

  • Sunflower heads turning during the day.
