It’s actually the golden ratio, which is very close to the ratio of Fibonacci numbers as you get up there.
And the oversimplified way to create it starts with a special rectangle, with a length of about 1.6 and a width of 1. Rotate it a quarter turn and scale it to make the width what the length was (~1.6 times as big). This becomes the new width, and the new length scales up too.
Rinse and repeat for each petal on the flower, each node on a branch, etc.
Again, oversimplified because eliactually5.
