Nuts, beans, seeds and spices, sentence 16
The seeds in a sunflower head sit in two sets of spirals turning opposite ways, often 34 and 55, numbers from a pattern where each is the sum of the two before: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55.
Who acts: seeds, spirals, each · What happens: sit, turn, be · To what, where: two sets, opposite ways, sum
