Seed constellation: a sunflower spiral pattern of small oval seeds
Seed constellation places 288 small filled ovals along a golden-angle spiral, the same packing rule a sunflower head follows. Seeds start tiny at the center and grow toward the rim, and each one points outward, so the disc looks evenly full without forming obvious rows. In near-black on warm off-white it manages to be precise and botanical at once.
Make it yours
Bring out spiral arms
Complexity 5 is the one value that uses the exact golden angle, which is why no arms are visible. Move it to 2 or 9 and the angle is detuned slightly, so the seeds line up into sweeping pinwheel arms. The further from 5, the stronger the arms.
Round or sharpen the seeds
Curvature at 50 gives ovals about two thirds as wide as they are long. At 0 they thin into grains of rice; at 100 they are nearly round dots. Element count adds 12 seeds per step, so 24 gives 288 and 48 gives 576.
FAQ
Why does Seed constellation look like a sunflower?
Because it uses the same construction. Each seed is placed about 137.5 degrees around from the previous one, the golden angle, and its distance from the center grows with the square root of its index. That combination spreads points evenly over a disc, which is how sunflower heads and pine cones pack their seeds.
