Fibonacci numbers found in Passion flower


Here is a photo I took of a passion flower. My first thought in looking at it was hey I bet it has Fibonacci numbers. It does, and not only that , but it received its name from a scholar named Jacomo Bosio living in Rome in 1609 who related all the numbers of petals, stamen etc; to the crucifixion of Christ.
