Sunflower seed head
Sunflower seed head (Helianthus annuus). The spiral arrangement of the seeds describe a Fibonacci mathematical series, one in which each number is the sum of the two previous numbers. For example: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21 and so on. This series was discovered by Italian mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci (1170-1240), and many natural patterns can be described using it

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Sunflower seed head (Helianthus annuus). The mesmerizing spiral arrangement of the seeds within perfectly illustrates the fascinating Fibonacci mathematical series. This renowned sequence, discovered by Italian mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci, follows a pattern where each number is derived from adding up the two previous numbers. As we observe this sunflower seed head, we can witness nature's remarkable ability to adhere to mathematical principles. The Fibonacci series holds immense significance in various fields such as biology and botany. It serves as a fundamental tool for understanding natural patterns and distributions. In this photograph, we witness how these tiny seeds align themselves in an aesthetically pleasing spiral formation that adheres to the Fibonacci sequence. Beyond its mathematical allure, this image also highlights the biological marvels found within nature. Sunflowers are not only visually stunning but also serve as an essential source of food due to their abundant seeds. The helianthus annuus species has long been cherished for its multiple uses and contributions to both human sustenance and ecological balance. As we admire this extraordinary botanical masterpiece captured by Science Photo Library, let us appreciate how mathematics intertwines with our natural world in ways that continue to inspire awe and wonderment among scientists and enthusiasts alike.
