Beanstalks in dubio

Beanstalks are supposed to follow the straight bamboo sticks , but... somewhere along the line they seem to be in doubt for a day or two . Reaching out for something better in a bean's life?
See how they try.
See how they straighten out. See how they run!
Runnerbeans run counter clockwise. Not so the speed with which they grow.

I know plants follow Fibonacci's numbers as a growth pattern (more conerning the leaves and their growth pattern), we just want to make them grow along a straight line, so it is asking for trouble... But Fibonacci is about LINEair recursion so the word line is in there. He was even pre-Renessaince, I guess (1202).

Thank you very much Ian for that link.
In spite of my matimatical ignorance I understand this Fibonacci principle, that is, the visual part. Love to explore it somewhat futher.
