Fractal Vegetable

A close up of a Romanesco cauliflower (also known as Roman broccoli, Broccolo Romanesco, Romanesque cauliflower or simply Romanesco)

 

The vegetable resembles a cauliflower, but it is green in colour, and its form is strikingly fractal. Each bud is composed of a series of smaller buds, all arranged in a spiral. Interestingly the number of spirals on the head of Romanesco broccoli is a Fibonacci number.
