Although I often protest that math is not my forte, number sequences do attract my attention. It was revelatory to find, while learning the times tables, that the product of 9 times a number increases the left number of the product by 1, and decreases the right number by 1. I found this far more fascinating than the fact that 9 times a number is 10 times that number minus the multiplier.
Then I read the Da Vinci code and learned of the Fibonacci sequence. Add that to Rick (Rykk) telling me that I could make all kinds of flowers by changing the number of Petals in OT(UF3), or the Order in OT. Using Fibonacci plus Rick and the concept of averaging layers, learned by taking Janet's Working with Ultra Fractal class, and you've got the most mathematically (well, at least arithmetically) considered fractal I've ever done.
I used the Fibonacci sequence (starting at 1 instead of 0) for 10 layers to increase the number of petals in OT(UF3) Pinch.
Bottom line is I did some countin' here folks!

Beautiful work.

And your counting paid off. I really love the colors, and those wonderful petals. Very nicely done.

Just lovely--didn't know Fibonacci could be fluffy!

It is beautiful; however, I would like to see just the center flower with long stem enlarged. Not that I would prefer the result; just curious.

Awesome job, Mad - there's a LOT more to "pinching" than one imagines at first.
