Some important uses of the number five

5, uses for number five 

This post is one of a series, beginning with two, and through ten, plus the number twelve. The post on three is here.

No doubt there are more important uses of the word, "five," but here are a few such. I especially like five-fold symmetry in flowers, as in roses and the morning glory family. Some roses have flower parts in multiples of five.

I might have included "pleading the fifth," but didn't.

TULIP, the so-called "five points of Calvinism," is explained here. As far as I know, there is no contrasting acronym for Arminians.

Thanks for looking!
