Ten-Fold Plants (ratcheting pentagons) include the passionflower (above), roses and citrus fruits (below).įibonacci Sequence & Phi (the Golden Ratio) Once 7-fold medicinal plant is cannabis.Įxotic flowers, such as the orchid (pictured below) and azalea have pentagonal symmetry. Many poisonous plants are medicinal in nature, if used properly and not abused. Some seed heads of the poppy flower are 7-fold as well. These include belladonna and the nightshade family. Seven-fold plants are traditionally considered poisonous. Six-fold plants, like the tulip, lily, and poppy are traditionally poisonous or only medicinal. In sunflowers, daisies, cacti thorns, placement of rose thorns, rose petals and more…įive-fold geometry is found in all the flowers of the edible fruit-bearing plants, like the tomato pictured below.In the whirling pentagonal structure of the stems of a weed, plant or tree.In a slice of a celery bunch – this shows a spiral arrangement of stalks accumulating as a pentagram star.In spirals of pineapple bracts, raspberry & blackberry drupelets, cabbage leaves, broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, lettuce leaves, artichoke leaves, strawberry seeds, asparagus seed heads, corn kernels…and on and on.In pine cones – each bract lies upon a spiral chain of bracts winding from pole to pole.most often 3, 5, or 8 needles per group.The numbers of pine needles accumulating as clusters in different pine species.The average number of petals on each type of flower in a field.In the sequence of leaf patterns as they twist around a branch.In the family tree of any bee population growth occurs in the Fibonacci growth rhythm.In the chronology of rabbit populations.In the ratio of the number of spiral arms in daisies & sunflowers.It is reflected in how trees root and branch, how flowers form, how ferns unfurl and pine cones form. This describes how things grow by building and multiplying what’s already there. “The series grows by accruing terms that come from within itself, from its immediate past, taking nothing from outside the sequence for its growth.”3 Much like the ouroboros:Įach number is the sum of the two preceding: multiplicative – each number approximates the previous number multiplied by the golden ratio.additive – each number is the sum of the previous two.It is a self-generating number series that is: The Fibonacci sequence refers to the “law of accumulation”. The Fibonacci sequence was popularized by Leonardo Fibonacci (Leonardo Filius Bonaccio – 1175-1250) an Italian mathematician considered by some to be “the most talented Western mathematician of the Middle Ages”. See Articles 52-59 for more information on the Pentad, pentagon, Golden Ratio and Fibonacci sequence. Plant growth is governed by the Fibonacci sequence. In order to understand the geometry upon which plants grow, we must review the Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio. In truth we cannot summarize the design of a plant within a single session of measurement and recording, since even within the space of time between the measuring and the recording enough about the plant may have changed to render the measurement obsolete.”2 They are transient and their form exists within a constant state of flux. “Plants are not objects, and there is no absolute. “The directed, asymmetric, ‘pulsating’ forces manifested in growing living organisms act, or can act, quite differently from the physico-chemical reactions obeying the ‘Principle of Least Action,’ so that the ‘Geometry of Life’ will introduce shapes and volumes not met with in rigorously inorganic systems.”1 “They spiral into existence, resembling whirlpools.” “Plants are not ‘things’ but ‘energy events’,” Michael Schneider tells us.
