Amazing natural symmetry in the world of plants

The natural symmetry occurring in nature, attracted and interested man since ancient times. In Ancient Greece, V century BC, the Pythagoreans drew attention to the unusual harmony and biosymmetry living plants. A century scientists have studied and investigated the structural forms of biological objects, it was written a lot of interesting work and made many discoveries in this field that even in 1961 led to the identification of specific direction in the doctrine of bisymmetric.

Particularly beautiful and fascinating is the axial symmetry observed in plants, the result of the axial symmetry is achieved by rotation of identical elements arranged around a single center. Moreover, these elements leaves, branches or flowers may be placed at any angle and with different frequency, as long as the rotation was around the center. For example, this effect is well visible on photo pictures plants listed below. After all, symmetry is one of the main principles of beauty. Precisely balanced elements more perceived as a single object. Symmetrical shape more and more memorable and look more clear and simple than asymmetric elements. Even designers in their work are much more likely to use symmetry to achieve balance and harmony, and get a nice image or a object. published
