Pansy

Pansy
Growing Patterns: Fibonacci Numbers in Nature didn’t arrive today. Here is a pansy I took in March of 2008. It has five petals. I liked the colors here, but I decided I wanted for the book a five-petal flower with petals of all the same color. On the same photo shoot, I took pictures of a flowering quince and a vinca (both five petal flowers) that did make it into the book.


Nothing like manipulating evidence! D.
Any 5 works because 5 is a Fibonacci number. No question about it. Is selection manipulation?
