I was concentrating on the seeds, and the spiral patterns do not show very well here.
There is a 600*450 88k jpeg here which is better:

I believe the number of left and right seed spirals should be adjacent numbers in the
Fibonacci sequence.  I used phi=sqrt((5)-1)/2 to get seed angle and distance from
center.

I did hope no-one would count the petals but that was probably expecting too much on
this
server :-(
I'm one petal short of 89 as my ancient petals routine places them in pairs.
