Small Flowers

I wrote a simple description about a plant I plucked from the grass. I placed the stem of the plant in a jar of water. The base of the stem was in water. Two leaves both brown and drenched and wilting were sticking to the stem. There are several empty sepals at this place where these two brown leaves are drenched and sticking to the stem. The next node is a little distance up and here too two dry leaves are bent down and drenched in water. There are sepals here also. Sepals are the green things that hold a flower. At first I thought they were curled up leaves. In the next node one leaf is dried up and the other leaf is green and has brown and yellow color changing the color of the green. In the next node there are two leaves and both leaves look almost healthy and almost entirely green. One leaf is larger than the other. At the edges these leaves are wilted. The smaller leaves also have a tinge of yellow. Yellow and brown suffuses the green. The next node is very close to this node and in this node there is a small leaf and a larger leaf and the larger leaf is yellow and has bits of brown on it. The next node is very pretty because it is where the flowers start. There are purple flowers here. The flowers are small, soft, and fragile. I don't know if the petals are arranged in a circle. There are several petals on one side and several or one large petal on the other side. The next node which is very close to this node has one flower and two leaves. There are lots of empty sepals all along this stem. At the very top node there are no flowers. Two leaves spread out in two different directions and two leaves close together as though they are two hands. At the very top the stem bends ever so slightly and ever so gracefully in one direction. Stems of plants are usually round. This stem is square. This is a plant that grows by itself amidst the grass. It's small flowers are like jewels or gemstones that decorate the grass. I hope you enjoyed reading my simple description of a plant.
