Now, other colors can be seen in the leaves. Other pigments have

been in the leaves all along. But they were hidden by the dark green of the

can be seen.

Some foods like bananas and carrots get their natural yellow and orange

coloring from these same pigments. They also give color to some flowers.

Maybe you can think of some.
