I love the colors, that little Sigy looks like a little gem for close-upsI posted the Fuji plus 7artisans 25mm pic in the SIS day 5 today. I took the same picture with the Sigma 28-70 on my Nikon Z fc (adapted with manual focus)

Nice to know that natural beauty is mirrored by mathematical beauty (I was a complete loss in maths).The mathematics of Sunflowers. Just in case you didn't already know....
The seeds of sunflowers display a two-dimensional pattern involving the Fibonacci sequence.
The seeds of a sunflower form two spirals, called parastichies, one set eminating from the center in a clockwise direction, the other in a counter-clockwise direction.
In most cases, the number of clockwise spirals and the number of counter clockwise spirals will be adjacent numbers of the Fibonacci sequence.
If you count the spirals in a consistent manner, you will always find a Fibonacci number.
The pattern of seeds within a sunflower follows the Fibonacci sequence, or 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144…
Each number in the sequence is the sum of the previous two numbers. Thanks to Bing Chat AI.
