Flower Petals Using Parametric Equations
Requires a Wolfram Notebook System
Interact on desktop, mobile and cloud with the free Wolfram Player or other Wolfram Language products.
This Demonstration shows a curve with the shape of a petalled flower given by 
and 
for 
, where 
is the integer part of 
and 
is the fractional part of 
. The parameters 
and 
represent the divergence angle between consecutive petals and the number of petals, respectively.
