Can one equation grow a chrysanthemum?

One point follows the polar chrysanthemum curve. The first sine term makes the broad petal rhythm, while the fourth- and eighth-power sine terms cut smaller variations into the radius. Then x(t) = r(t) cos t and y(t) = r(t) sin t place that changing radius on screen for 0 ≤ t ≤ 21π. The result is one continuous planar trace whose petal sizes and folds keep changing instead of repeating one simple outline.
