Been playing with 2 subjects - glass blobs in megapov, and Fibonacci's Golden Ratio.
Put
them together here. Not easy finding a suitable background for glass stuff.

Took 2.5 hours with Celeron 500 and megapov for dos.

Very nice wings, although I doubt real wings would refract like this.

Thanks comment. I used glass wings, with thickness. Caustics would not look right if a
plane or disc were used.

Very good!

A minor remark, though. I can not see the whole sunflower so I can not
tell, but in the real world, the number of left and right spirals in a
sunflower petal are always members of the Fibonacci sequence. Is this
what you're referring to?

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.

Thank you Sir.
Bit stupid picking R, G and B glass and then JPEGing it I suppose but not too much
damage
was done.
