Description
Sunflower seed head (Helianthus annuus). The spiral arrangement of the seeds describe a Fibonacci mathematical series, one in which each number is the sum of the two previous numbers. For example 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21 and so on. This series was discovered by Italian mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci (1170-1240), and many natural patterns can be described using it.
