Symmetry in Flowers
Most Flowers exhibit two primary types of symmetry: Radial and Bilateral.
Radial symmetry, seen in flowers like sunflowers and Daisies, features elements radiating outward from a central point. This can be observed only from a Particular Angle.
On the other hand, Bilateral symmetry, allows the flower to be divided into two mirrored halves (from a Particular Angle). Ex: Pancy
Some flowers are Asymmetrical too! Asymmetrical flowers can add a touch of whimsy and interest to any garden or floral arrangement. For Example, Orchid or Bird of Paradise.
