The growth pattern of flower petals follow a unique pattern, a pattern described by the Fibonacci sequence spiral and radial patterns.

These growth patterns are seen in rose petals, the sunflower head, pine cones, lilies, iris, buttercups, daisies, marigold, and many more.

Many flowering plants feature two spiral sequences, one in each direction (clockwise and counterclockwise).

The petals and seeds grow from the center head, and each petal or seed is positioned at an angle to the previous petal.

Flower petals, leaves, and veins on the leaves all follow the Fibonacci Sequence.

The Fibonacci sequence in flowers allow for maximum efficiency, the best use of space, and maximization of sunlight exposure to all parts of the flower.

The Fibonacci sequence pattern of growth found in flowering plants gives strong evidence of Intelligent Design in Nature from an Intelligent Designer.
