The beautiful dahlia was photographed in the garden of a tearoom visited on last Saturday's cycle ride (Southwick). I remembered there is some kind of magic spiral (mathematical formula for it) that explains nature's arrangements like this and looked it up.
Most explanations like to use sunflower seed heads for illustration - yeah - I have one of those, so I give you.....
The Fibonacci Spiral
The Dahlia is so beautiful like you say.

ReplyDeleteFibonacci, the Other Leonardo!
ReplyDeleteIndeed his name was Leonardo (Bonacci) or filus Bonacci to his friends.

The dahlia is stunning. Isn't nature clever!
ReplyDeleteLove dahlias. I’m trying to work out where I can plant more.
ReplyDeleteThere is a staircase in the Vatican that when you look down it from the top is a Fibonacci Spiral.
I was totally mesmerised by the sight of it. It was beautiful
