A tasty mathematician's delight
The inflorescence of Romanesco broccoli or Romanesque cauliflower. Each bud is composed of a series of smaller buds, each arranged in a logarithmic spiral. Mathematicians use the term fractal to describe a curve or geometrical figure, each part of which has the same statistical character as the whole. In Romanesco broccoli, the pattern is only an approximate fractal since the pattern eventually terminates when the feature is sufficiently small. For more information see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanesco_broccoli

I am very grateful for the very kind comments and faves. Thanks for visiting.
There is a colour photo (shallower dof) in the first comment.
