[Peter Pedant]

what is the 'why' for fibonacci and flowers ?

for any walk in or maff-bot - d'arcy thompson - scaling and plants, - on growth and form
the first edition 1916 is better than the third 1930s
rare when that occurs

The 'why' was to meant to say it's interesting to understand what is special about Fibonacci numbers and why nature uses them, or nature that survives! Similarly, it's interesting to know why the sunflower seeds are arranged in the golden ratio.
