Shape of the orbit that planet travels?

The shape of orbits planets travel is usually considered to be elliptical, with the shared center of mass (near the Sun) being one of the foci. Potentially, an orbit could be circular but there is always at least a slight imperfection which elongates the orbit on one axis into an elliptical shape. Examined in even greater detail, the long axis of the ellipse itself also rotates somewhat over long periods of time, an effect partially attributed to effects predicted by General Relativity, and is called apsidal precession; as such the shape of the orbit might be considered to be a complex curve somewhat like a spiral shape. If you were to trace the path as seen from above, over very long periods of time, it might seem somewhat like the outline of petals on a dense flower - with irregularities, bumps and dents caused by transient gravitational interactions with other planets at their closest approach.
