just a few days ago i posted a photo of a horsetail, one of my favorite plants, which is also involved in the origins of logarithms–its telescoping segmented stem inspiring John Napier to develop a new branch of mathematics. all i can say is, look at the patterns in the center of this daisy, and imagine what math may have created them, and then try, just try, to look away.
