Flower petals often exhibit a radial or rotational symmetry pattern. This means that they can be divided into equal halves by multiple lines passing through the center, and the resulting sections will be identical or near-identical in shape and size. This type of symmetry is also known as actinomorphic or regular symmetry.
However, there are also flowers that have an irregular or asymmetrical pattern, meaning they cannot be divided into identical parts. An example of a flower with asymmetrical petals is the orchid. These flowers often have distinct shapes and patterns that are important for attracting and guiding specific pollinators.
