Flowers That Count

During spring time, our friends the flowers are popping up around every corner. Some flowers follow a math pattern. There's a special set of numbers where you get each number by adding the 2 numbers before it. You start with 1 and 1, which gives you 2...then 2+1 is 3...then 3 plus that 2 gives you 5...5 plus that 3 gives 8, and so on. They're called the Fibonacci numbers. Sunflower seeds grow in spirals, and these flowers most often have a Fibonacci number of seed spirals!
