Fibonacci Sequence - here we go again!

I am trying to follow this? but as some leaves grow opposite each other I lost the plot help?

I think these come in at the beginning of the Fibonacci sequence - 1/2. Elm trees are like that. If you have a look at : http://www.maths.surrey.ac.uk/hosted-sites/R.Knott/Fibonacci/fibnat.html#plants
it explains it better than I can.

Will have a look but smart maths has always been beyond me.

maths smart--- or dim!--- has always been beyond me.....

an angstrom is 1/10,000,000,000 m named afetr the ?swedish? scientist who was one of the pioneering elctronmicroscopists. modern scientists use nanometres [nm] instead.
the dna spirals 10 bases per turn which is 34nm or 340A. but there are 4 dna bases so not quite perfect.:o)

the general term for leaf arrangment to prevent interference is 'leaf mosiac' but many plants can move the leaf blade to maximise the light it catches. Also the chloroplasts in the photosynthesising cells can also move through the cell to get to the best spot to photosynthsise.

I loved this blog wagger thanks.

my head hurts...

yes mine still does too. dont worry i finding lying down in a dark room helps :o))))

That was so interesting. I remembered some of it from my A level botany days.

think i need a couple of headach pills wagger, my brain hurts lol, hope you know what you ment :o)) sounds very clever, then plants are dont you think :o))

We have an engineer on here they are into maths so I wonder will this do his brain in. It would be interesting to see if engineering co insides with all this.

Shall I make a new GoYpedia category for "Brain Ache" ? Lol.

yes me too hywell.

lol. All these comments came in a split second :o)
I enjoyed my A level subjects Seaburngirl .

lol Terra yes plez
im not the best at maths, only basic, what are A levels lol kidding ;o))

What were your other A level subjects, Hywel ?
Maths and Science ?
Cat care ?
Cacti care ?
Art...I bet you did art... you are good at drawing.. Lol.

Yes why not Terratoonie I think yes think!!! it would be a gread Goy pedia. hehe

TT - Botany, Zoology, Geology lol. I've forgotten 99% of it :o)
Maths - I can count to 3. Well I think it's 3 anyway lol

Sandra I thought you would know what A levels are the A stands for Ale and the levels are how many glasses you can drink after this lol

good point sanbaz they are called AS and A2 now. I do wish they would stop fiddling with things.
i did too hywell. well not so much the physics but as the only girl in a class of 24 I had some entertaining times. Maths was a better mix and chemistry too. Biology was my fave though. still is. cant you tell? :o)

lol morgana,, trust you hehehe
yes i do know them as Alevels sea just didnt take any, i didnt care much for school, only art, athletics and history, thats it,:o)

I hated school aswell. Too many bullies - boys, girls, and teachers :o(((

yes i agree there hywel :o((,

I too hated school the only thing good that come from school was touch typing and shorthand, which got me jobs for engineering company then an electrical company, which got me my money for cloths to go dancing and fags.

I HATED the Grammar School....
... loved my junior school...
Just thought I'd add that before I sign off for the evening..Lol.

Good night TT :o)

:o) x

I enjoyed school most of the time, though did suffer from bullies as i was a little on the tubby side. still am :o)
I am off to bed as soon as 17yr old gets in from a date.

know what you mean, my mum just the same, part of life, they grow up so fast dont they, im off now, im getting tired, hope the date went well ;o))

night night sanbaz

nite sea

Very fascinating bedtime reading, Wagger. Have read these blogs now a few times, and think my head's getting round it all. Many Thanks for this! :-))

Love this blog Wagger. I can't say that I understand it completely but I can see the patterns in the numbers. God must be a mathematician. LOL
I enjoyed school for the most part although I used to be picked on because of my accent. I loved sciences...all of them. Biology was my favourite expanding to pathology, microbiology, anatomy and physiology in college. But there was also chemisty, biochemistry, physics, nuclear physics etc. Loved them. But, I do agree with Morgana....one of the most useful things I learned in school was touch typing....that single thing has helped me land so many jobs.

just found your previous blog re golden number ( I was away ) and now I am just begining to follow the above! absolutly fascinating

I've finally found some time to visit my own blog and what do I find going on behind my back lat at night? LOL. The only thing I really enjoyed at school was sports 'cos I was quite good at it - netball team, hockey team, tennis team. Oh, and biology. When I said I wanted to go int horticulture I was pushed into a bank and evening classes for shorthand and typing.
:-((((
Seaburngirl, your comment made me wonder if something like 'leaf mosaic' was what made flowers follow the sun but found the name for that is 'Phototropism'. There's a good article about that in Wikipedia.
Thanks for the comments, folks

You are so clever and I really tried to understand it but I`m afriad my brain gave up halway through.. I must read it again! :o)

Sandra x

Hi Wagger! There has been something mentioned elsewhere on GOY about sunflower heads following the sun!! Must go find it!!! Many Thanks for this pointer!

Fab blog, must say again, hope you are not run off your feet in the "lead up" to the Big Day!!!1 Seasons Greeetings to you and yours!! :-))

I had to read it all several times to get the hang of it, Sandra - the more I read the more fascinating I found it! If you google it you can find some amazing photographs which show it well, they say a picture is worth a thousand words and in this case it's very true!!! Makes it easier to understand.

I think I remember seeing something, David. If you find it can you put a comment on here so I can revisit it, thanks. I don't run anywhere these days let alone off my feet, lol. The best of the season to you and your family and a Happy New Year.
