But it seems to me that ferns - all over the world - have a jurassic touch that makes them seem somewhat out of this world. @ Cyclone Bill

When following the Wikilink above, it did, however, surprise me that the article didn't say anything about Danish poet Inger Christensen's use of the Fibonacci numbers, whereas this is what it says on the Wikipedia article about the Poet herself: <a>"In the 1981 masterpiece, alfabet, the author uses the alphabet (from a [“apricots”] to n [“nights”]) along with the Fibonacci mathematical sequence in which the next number is the sum of the two previous ones (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34…). As Christensen has explained: “The numerical ratios exist in nature: the way a leek wraps around itself from the inside, and the head of a snowflower, are both based on this series.” Her system ends on the n, suggesting many possible meanings including “n’s” significance as any whole number."</a> Beautiful, Nadja!
