The mystery of the phyllotaxis phenomenon has been inspiring inquiry among generations of botanists and mathematicians. Of particular interest is the fact that the number of visible spirals is equal to the numbers from the Fibonacci series. The article proposes three methods to prove the adequacy of the biomechanical model of the morphogenesis of spiral phyllotaxis: mathematical, simulation software, and experimental. Evidence of the biomechanical model leads to a critical rethinking of the understanding of plant morphogenesis.
