Of the hundreds of thousands of different types of plants, most of them are symmetrical in some way. But have you ever seen a perfectly symmetrical flower?
If you have, then you no doubt understand that there’s something magical about coming across a piece of nature that almost looks too perfect to be real. Luckily, you don’t have to see one in person to enjoy these seemingly rare beauties — we’ve gathered some of our favorites for you to enjoy below!

Although plants don’t need to be symmetrical to be beautiful, the ones that do certainly have a way of catching our eye. It seems the reason why is because our brains enjoy finding patterns, especially in a world that can be pretty chaotic. But whatever the case, these photos are a great reminder to stop and smell the flowers, both literally and figuratively!
