God certainly did make a wonderful world, didn't He? Right down to the little spirals in a sunflower!

Those interested in learning more about Fibonacci should check the book "The Man of Numbers" by Keith Devlin. He made a huge contribution to western Europe by introducing the Hindu-Arabic number system to western Europe.

Nature is miraculous at times. Here's another example that I took on Waheke Island in New Zealand a couple of years ago.

Thank you Rabbott. I was thinking of doing that and putting it on my wall to help me through the winter, if only I can find a space somewhere :)

Thank you for that Rufus. Wouldnt it have been great if nature could have grown books ready to read too? Seriously though spirals are fascinating phenomena and who knows what we still dont know about them.

That is an interesting one Gargleblaster. Any idea what plant it is? One has to wonder why it grew like that. Maybe it is the best way to catch rain. A lot of these types of spiral plants often seem to belong to the Artichoke family, as does the sunflower. Truly amazing photo and thanks for showing it.

Thank you for the comment, Mike B. I notice that the number of rows of 'leaves' in that wonderful green cactus posted by Gargleblaster is 5, which is a number in the Fibonaccci Sequence. Jim

No, I'm sorry, I have no idea. It obviously belongs to the succulent family. Maybe someone with much more botanical knowledge that I will be able to help.
