Where do the 222.49...° come from?



  • phi (0.618034...) turns yields 222.49...°

  • often 360° - 222.49° = 137.51° is used

  • phi organs per turn provide the best packing
    • best exposure of leafs to light/rain/etc.
    • for flowers or petals, it gives the best possible exposure to
      insects to attract them for pollination
