Romanesco
Part of a Romanesco Cauliflower. Note how the main florets are composed of mini florets arranged in a Fibonacci spiral and that these mini florets are in turn composed of micro florets, again arranged in a Fibonacci spiral, which themselves are composed of.......... - isn't nature wonderful!
It reminds me of the old bit of doggerel:-
If dogs have fleas
Do fleas have fleas
Which on their backs do bite'em
And do those fleas
Have lesser fleas
And so, ad infinitum?
The visible extent of the image is about 2.75".
