What are some examples of the Fibonacci Sequence in nature?
Plants that grow in spiralling patterns often use the Fibonacci numbers. The number of rows that spiral clockwise and counter-clockwise are adjacent numbers in the Fibonacci Sequence. For example, the pineapple typically has 8 spirals in one direction and 13 in the other. Other examples are the palm tree, sunflower, asparagus, artichoke, pinecone, even broccoli and cauliflower.
