| The spiral of a sunflower follows a very specific pattern known as the Golden Ratio, which is the limit of the ratio of the Fibonacci numbers as you approach infinity. Not everything that people claim follows the Golden Ratio actually does - nautilus shells, for example, do not. But sunflowers really do. To see how the sunflower's pattern relates to the Golden Ratio, check out this tool called "Turn, then Grow." |
