Are there more fibonnaci numbers in fruits than flowers?

inflorescence best answer:

Answer by gardengallivant
Fruits derive from the flower's structure so the incidence is likely to be the same. The numerical sequence comes from how cells divide in growth. In flowers with spiral phyllotaxis, the mean divergence angles between the daughter cells are almost always 137.5° (Fibonacci pattern).

Asteraceae (aster, daisy, sunflower) family of compound flowers typically have a Fibonacci number of florets in the disk.

Myrtaceae (myrtle, eucalyptus, guava) flowers have a Fibonacci number of petals or branches in the inflorescence.
