A True Flower of Life?
by Karen Alexander
Insights into this lovely formation.
This is such an interesting crop circle. Behind its seeming simplicity lies a very elegant five-fold geometry,
one we do not see very often used in the crop circles. We are very used to seeing the pentagram star, it is a very common shape used in crop circle design, but this elegant little flower is the shy, but beautiful sibling of the pentagram and to me is the true Flower-of-Life as it contains the life-giving generative power of the Golden Section.
In this particular crop circle, we are not dealing with the traditional pentagram, we are dealing with a true
flower-of-life; a flower with five equidistant and self-similar petals. Pop-geometry often refers to an arrangement of six circles around a seventh as the flower-of-life, but while six-fold geometry organises much of the natural world, it is the inanimate world that it is mostly associated with, whereas five is found in abundance in living forms - in both the animal and plant world.
