Flower petals = Fibonacci?

While I was looking at the soon-to-be dying beautiful flowers and was thinking of how to preserve them, a puzzle flashed back out of the blue –

In the last episode of Genius : Einstein, it mentioned that almost all flowers’ pedals in nature are in Fibonacci sequence (5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55…)

I decided the flowers should die in a more meaningful way.

After telling my husband (out of respect as he bought them) my intention, I started a small research of “counting flower pedals”.

The average of 10 flowers’ pedals ((37+35+32+37+37+40+41+34+37+37) / 10) is 36.7, which is closer to 37!

Not exactly fit in the Fibonacci sequence!

I think that dialog (flowers pedals = Fibonacci) most likely is from the screenwriter’s fantasy, or perhaps Einstein really had mentioned it in a casual way somewhere else…who knows?!!

Anyway, puzzle solved. 😌

These lovely flowers had definitely outperformed the usual one! 😜
