the golden mean. This is yet another complicated
mathematical concept, but to put it as simply as
possible, it refers to a relationship or proportion,
i.e. ratio between two numbers.
The Fibonacci sequence, a set in which each
number is the sum of the previous two (1, 1, 2, 3,
5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, ...),
found in everything from pineapples to pine cones.
In this case, the telltale sign is the number of
different seed spirals on the sunflower's face.
Count the clockwise and counterclockwise spirals
that reach the outer edge, and you'll usually find a
pair of numbers from the sequence: 34 and 55, or
55 and 89, or—with very large sunflowers—89
and 144. 
A fractal is a never-ending pattern that repeats
itself at different scales. A fractal repeatedly
follows a rule and continually reproduces
copies of itself in various sizes and/or
directions. Fractals are extremely complex,
sometimes infinitely complex – meaning you
can zoom in and find the same shapes forever.
