Nature, The Golden Ratio, and Fibonacci

 

Plants can grow new cells in spirals, such as the pattern of seeds in this beautiful sunflower.

The spiral happens naturally because each new cell is formed after a turn.

"New cell, then turn,
then another cell, then turn, ..."

How Far to Turn?

So, if you were a plant, how much of a turn would you have in between new cells?

If you don't turn at all, you would have a straight line.
But that is a very poor design ... you want something round that will hold together with no gaps.

Why not try to find the best value for yourself?
