flowers only have a certain number of petals. the possibilities are: 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89.

lillies - 3
buttercups - 5
delphiniums (not all) - 8
marigolds - 13
asters - 21
daisies (most) - 34, 55, 89

kinda of interesting. do you see the pattern in the numbers?

it's cool.

found in a book called "nature's numbers"
