Math Monday: Fibonacci's Infinite Flowering

Zero, one, one, two, three, five.
Pineapple, sunflower, bee hive.
Eight, thirteen, twenty-one.
Tree limbs maximize under the sun.
Apples and bananas have golden powers.
Fibonacci's spirals are in pretty flowers.
Such mathematic beauty shows up in pinecones.
The golden numbers are even present in human bones.
It's within the chambered nautilus, starfish, and the sweet dolphin.
See it during the carving of a Halloween pumpkin.
Hear the math with the cochlea in the inner ear.
Go explore in nature to see where Fibonacci's sequence may appear.
