By observing the spiral arrangement on a pine cone or pineapple we notice that similar to the seed spirals on sunflowers, the numbers of spirals in each direction are consecutive Fibonacci numbers. By looking at the structure of the seed scales in a mature female pine cone you can observe that there are 8 spirals going in one direction and 13 going in the other direction.
