Ancient people called six a 'perfect' number because of its special property of being the sum of all its divisors (1+2+3= 6). Whenever hexagons are found, like in this Hippeastrum flower, you can be sure to find a need for a streamlined structure. Hexagonal configurations created by three way junctions at 120 degree angles 'allow nature to accomplish the most with the least'.
