That's fascinating stuff Heather! And beautiful photography!
It illustrates a small part of an orderly, complex, well organized system.

Even the smallest organism has a complexity and beauty beyond our understanding.

It's incomprehensible to me how it can be attributed to random chance.
The credit for this amazing world must go to an Awesome, Omnipotent Creator God.

Yep, beautiful!!!

I linked around on that site and looked at some amazing closeups of eyes. I happen to have one of the rarest of eye conditions, and they took photos of my eyes. Luckily the world's top Opthamologist works also in San Francisco among other places worldwiode, and came to study my eyes. I was his 7th case of peripheral ulcerative keratitis. I am again nearly 20 20 because of him, and will likely live to be old instead of just to maybe 64. (The doctor flew halfway around the world to see my eyes. I took a bus 120 miles. Kind of humbling.)

I had some science teacher professional training on Fibonacci in science/math and was amazed at the whole miraculous thing. Beautiful pictures!

Yes, i've had discussions on the phenomenon (?) in several different biology classes, and was always amazed at the many MANY different natural circumstances where you see this happen. This article just touched on flowers, but there are the snail shell, sea shells, leaf formation...on and on.

if you ever get a chance to watch the tv series Numb3rs there is a very good episode about the Fibonacci sequence and how it is found in everything throughout nature.
