On shells and plants. Many things in nature have it.
The spiral patterns on pine cones and cycads, the number of petals on certain flowers, the number of leaves on the stems of some plants, and the arrangement of seeds on a sunflower seed head are some examples of Fibonacci sequences.

The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers in which each number is the sum of the two previous numbers. When graphed, the sequence creates a spiral. The sequence is also related to the "Golden Ratio." The Golden Ratio has been used to explain why certain shapes are more aesthetically pleasing than others.
