Plants, flowers, pentagonal and their geometry then Fibonacci sequence.

Once I read about something of geometry of flowers. The article said that a key element of it is said to be pentagonal.

Fibonacci sequence, a famous mathematic, is said to be ruling over their geometry.
Anyway, at a first glance, I can’t identify the relation between Fibonacci sequence and the geometry of plants and flowers, nonetheless I can feel they have certain mechanism of forming their shape, mechanism which may possibly be represented and/or modeled by mathematics.

Here is the recurrence relation of Fibonacci Sequence (Numbers).
F0=0, F1=1 and Fn=Fn-1+Fn-2 for n>1
So, you see, pasts (term: Fn-1+Fn-2) accumulates in the present (term Fn).
It looks to me of one of mechanisms of growth.

Also, a fact to be noticed is that Fibonacci Sequence has certain relation with Golden Ratio. The ratio is found in something that has beautiful shape.

Unfortunately, it is impossible for me to figure out how that mathematics reaches pentagonal. (There may be certain theories which were proven well by some academics or professional scientists)

Here I took pictures of several flowers which I found in a park nearby to explore a little bit into the geometry of flowers.
You may find some pentagons there.

Cherry Blossom: Japanese like this very much in heart. But however deeply we love it, most of us can never be aware of its divine relation with mathematics without being told. Anyway, I can have Cherry Blossom party (Hana-mi).
This is ——–, OK, the leaves look like vertically stretched pentagon, it seems. the “flowers” may contain something of Fibonacci, isn’t it?
Azalea flowers. Japanese love this as well as Cherry Blossom.

I don’t know the name. They were emitting fluorescence in the real siting though unfortunately picture can’t express it.
Oh, Tanpopo!(Japanese for Dandelion) Can you properly pronounce “Tanpopo”? Sorry, today is about geometry of flowers and plants. So, can you find Fibonacci or pentagon there?
I think in this picture there are some pentagons.
