Romanesque Brocolli/Cauliflower (Romicia) closeup 2

Couldnt believe that nature had copied Escher

Sort of cauliflower or broccoli

Romanesque Brocolli/Cauliflower (or Romanesco) looks and tastes like a cross between brocolli and cauliflower. Each floret is peaked and is an identical but smaller version of the whole thing and this makes the spirals easy to see.
