Sunflower head with spiral pattern. These show fibonacci in nature. The fibonacci sequence can be found in a stunning variety throughout nature. It is a naturally occurring pattern.
Fibonacci numbers 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 ,21, 34.... etc. each number is the sum of the two numbers before it.
Each ring of stamens opening represents a day.
The stamens open over several days to ensure some flowers become pollinated despite the weather.
