Fibonacci Redeemed?

They say that the numbers in the Fibonacci Sequence occur frequently in nature. For example the number of spirals in a sunflower head. I decided to test the theory by keeping track of the number of segments in the mandarin that I have for my morning break each day. It was anything but a Fibonacci number; it was one of 9, 10, 11 or 12. This went on for a few months until today when my mandarin contained 13 segments. It doesn't actually prove anything at all. Like black swans.

Here's a photo of the 13 segments:
