Sunflower seed head
Sunflower seed head (Helianthus annuus). The spiral arrangement of the seeds describe a Fibonacci mathematical series, one in which each number is the sum of the two previous numbers. For example: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21 and so on. This series was discovered by Italian mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci (1170-1240), and many natural patterns can be described using it

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Sunflower seed head (Helianthus annuus). The mesmerizing spiral arrangement of the seeds within perfectly illustrates the fascinating Fibonacci mathematical series. This renowned sequence, discovered by Italian mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci, follows a pattern where each number is derived from adding up the two previous numbers. As we observe this sunflower seed head, we can witness nature's remarkable ability to adhere to mathematical principles. The Fibonacci series holds immense significance in various fields such as biology and botany. It serves as a fundamental tool for understanding natural patterns and distributions. In this photograph, we witness how these tiny seeds align themselves in an aesthetically pleasing spiral formation that adheres to the Fibonacci sequence. Beyond its mathematical allure, this image also highlights the biological marvels found within nature. Sunflowers are not only visually stunning but also serve as an essential source of food due to their abundant seeds. The helianthus annuus species has long been cherished for its multiple uses and contributions to both human sustenance and ecological balance. As we admire this extraordinary botanical masterpiece captured by Science Photo Library, let us appreciate how mathematics intertwines with our natural world in ways that continue to inspire awe and wonderment among scientists and enthusiasts alike.
