A Quick Note about Nature

Most flower patterns have multiples of 3 or 5 petals. Why?
I'll tell you why: Fibonacci.
 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34, etc. How does this strange number sequence work? 0+1=1 1+1=2 1+2=3 2+3=5 and so on, as far as your lovely brain can compute, and beyond.
It shows up everywhere in nature, and it is a truly unique sequence because there is no constant number being added, or multiplied or divided by. The two previous numbers added together make the next number. A continuous spiral of nature number magic.
I'm a fan, if you didn't notice. It started with Taken. Every Sunday mom and I would stay up to catch the new episode, and now we have the shebang on DVD. Check it out, its pretty good if you're into sci-fi, like me.
Isn't nature awesome :)
Blessed Be and Happy Hooking
