We have friends down the block with lots of these saw palmettos in their backyard. They also have a trampoline that I used to spend 20 minutes a day bouncing on. I loved looking at the saw palmettos and when I was obsessed with counting everything I saw outside, I noticed that they seemed to have eight fronds coming from the base of the fan. I got very excited and took a bunch of photos, thinking they might fit into the Fibonacci book. But, as I counted more and more, I realized the numbers weren’t consistent. It got dropped from the book, but I still like to look at saw palmettos.
