A daisy is a figure resembling a daisy or sunflower in which copies of a geometric figure of increasing size are placed at regular intervals along a spiral.
The resulting figure appears to have multiple spirals
spreading out from the center. A Vogel
spiral instead distributes points with nearly uniform
density using a different radial law, producing another flower-like pattern used
to model phyllotaxis.
