Most flowering plants arrange their leaves and petals in spirals around their stems. And in most species, the angle between successive elements is close to the so-called golden angle, 137.5 degrees, a number derived from mathematic theory that correlates to artistic aesthetics and biological patterning. This convergence has puzzled researchers for 250 years.
