There is a famous sequence of integers known as the Fibonacci sequence:
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, . . .
The first two integers are one, every subsequent integer is the sum of the two immediately preceding it.
Many plants have intrinsic spirals. For example, the leaves on an artichoke run in spirals around the artichoke, the "eyes" on a pineapple form spirals, the seeds in a daisy or a sunflower form spirals. The spirals run in both directions, clockwise and counterclockwise.
For all of these naturally occuring spirals, the number of left-hand spirals and the number of right-hand spirals are always consecutive Fibonacci numbers. For example, on an artichoke the leaves will form five spirals in one direction and eight spirals in the other direction; the eyes on a pineapple form eight spirals in one direction and thirteen in the other; the seeds in a daisy form 21 and 34 spirals.
(I was trimming artichoke leaves for dinner this evening when I thought of this.)
