Description
This Kansas sunflower shows the unique spacing of the seeds in the center. The seeds of sunflowers display a two-dimensional pattern involving the Fibonacci sequence, or 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144... If you remember back to math class, each number in the sequence is the sum of the previous two numbers.. The seeds form two spirals, one set emanating from the center in a clockwise direction, the other in a counter-clockwise direction. Don't you love nature?
