As expected at this time of the year, the leaf is green on both sides. Despite it being flimsy and rather weak to the point where it felt like it could rip easily at first, the leaf now appears stronger and firmer after having its stem submerged in water for a certain period of time. The leaf has a greater length than width, the length being approximately 14.40 cm and the width being roughly 3.9-4.0 cm. The leaf’s shape sort of resembles the shape of a feather as it starts narrow towards the stem and widens out before narrowing down again towards the tip. However, the leaf’s edges are not smooth but instead they have tips. The right side of the leaf has 23 tips while the left side has 22 tips. The stem which can be seen on the bottom part of the leaf has small white hairs which feel a bit rougher compared to any other part of the leaf. On a side note, the top part of the leaf has a couple of interesting features. The first and most obvious one is a line that sort of resembles an outline that takes up two thirds of the leaf. On the left side the is a small cut in the leaf about 6.0 cm up from the stem and in the middle, there is a small dot which also might be a small hole about 0.6 cm from the leaf’s tip.

A Better Look at a Leaf
Great paragraph but I feel like it needs a topic sentence.

I would suggest making the topic sentence clearly lay out the structure and organization for the rest of the paragraph. Tell the reader what to expect in the rest of the paragraph.
I think its a very good
I think its a very good paragraph but a topic sentence would make the paragraph much more stronger in a way.
A bit of trimming might be good
I feel as though some sentances dont serve much of a purpose, for example
"On a side note, the top part of the leaf has a couple of interesting features."
since you are talking about the leaf already, it might be more concise to say "At the top of the leaf, ..."
