![]() ![]() ![]() As the seeds grow, the center of the seed head quickly adds new seeds. The Fibonacci pattern allows the flower to make an optimal use of space by ensuring the growth of maximum number of seeds on the seed head. For example, take a close look at the sunflower’s head. The Fibonacci pattern has been adopted by flowers and plants to ensure maximum efficiency, optimal utilization of the available space, and maximum availability of sunlight to all parts and structures. It’s the basic law of nature and holds good for flowers and plants too. We all strive to become the most efficient versions of ourselves. While initially, Fibonacci’s experiment looked like a hypothetical situation, the sequence eventually appeared in almost all forms of life, including human beings and has been keeping the scientists fascinated for centuries. This pattern continues and follows 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144 sequence which goes onto infinity. In the third month, the original pair produces another pair of newborn, while their offspring grow to adulthood. In the second month, the female gives birth to a pair of rabbits. So in the first month, the same pair remains. Rabbits can’t reproduce until they are one month old. The Fibonacci sequence was born out of a simple, hypothetical puzzle about rabbit population:Ī man asked, “If two rabbits were put in a fenced yard, how many pairs of rabbits will they produce in a year? In fact, the higher the Fibonacci number, the closer is its relationship is to the golden ratio ( the number of phi) – 1.618. In fact, our bodies too are consistent with Fibonacci numbers.Īll ratios of Fibonacci numbers are closely related to the Golden ratio. Galaxies and hurricanes are spiral in nature. The combs of honeybees usually sum up to a Fibonacci number. The seeds of sunflower follow a Fibonacci pattern. The petals of flowers are arranged in Fibonacci sequence. The spirals of the pinecone equal Fibonacci numbers. For example, rose, lilies, daisies, buttercups, and rose are all Fibonacci flowers. The sequence mostly occurs in most of the biological structures and forms of life. It was discovered by an Italian mathematician, Leonardo of Pisa, better known as Fibonacci, in the 13 th century. What are Fibonacci Numbers?įibonacci numbers are a never-ending sequence of numbers that start with 0 and 1, and goes on forever by adding the previous two numbers. The sequence starts with 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21, and goes on forever and ends up in infinity. In this formula, a definite mathematical sequence is created by adding the two preceding numbers together. Known as the Fibonacci sequence or Fibonacci numbers, the seeds, petals, pistils, leaves and its veins are all formed using a distinct mathematical formula. They depict the true art of nature and are created using their own secret formula – a magic sequence – that defines the pattern in which their petals are uniquely organized. In famous art pieces, "The Last Supper" and "The Mona Lisa", Leonardo Da Vinci used the Fibonacci sequence to create these masterpieces! Music composers such as Mozart and Bartok have used this same sequence in some of their works! Even in today's age of music, Maynard James Keenan from the band TOOL was inspired by the Fibonacci series and used it to create the rhythm and lyrics of their song "Lateralus".Have you ever observed a flower closely? Did you ever know that mathematics hold the key to the nature too? How much ever intriguing it may be, the fact is that flowers are a lot more than just pretty structures. Throughout history, the Fibonacci sequence has been applied to art in many forms. Early childhood is from 4-7, and middle childhood is 7-11. The first two years of life are referred to as early infancy, and next is the toddler stage from two to four. Even as a human develop, we grow through 8 stages. The math and science behind our DNA is in the pattern of the Fibonacci sequence. That is the mysterious Fibonacci at work! From the number of petals that are on a flower, the way a pineapple or pine cone spirals, or the way a branch splits out into 3, it is all the same pattern! In relation to our own bodies as examples, think about the pattern of our DNA strands and how they spiral. Think of how the middle, or inside, of the flower, repeats this crazy cool pattern of the seeds. ![]()
