Fractal vegetable. More Natural Spirals. Energy in Form! Gem Corn, Romanesco Broccoli, Textures In Nature, Fractals In Nature, Spirals In Nature, Macro Photography Tips, Photography Ideas At Home, Geometry In Nature, Nature Patterns

Its a Romanesco broccoli up close and fractal. Just like a sunflower heart, it is a true example of mathematics in nature. I think it is a striking vegetable - I crave novelty in food, so bought two for a Sunday roast. I steamed them lightly and served them naked, unfettered by cheese sauce. No bugger touched them. Had the lot meself. I smelled faintly rancid for a week.

I was curious, so I analyzed the geometry of the peacock's tail-feather display.  Turns out the shape is a symmetrical phyllotaxis, which is somewhat surprising.   Most phyllotaxis patterns in nature (like on pinecones, pineapples and sunflowers) have spirals of adjacent Fibonacci numbers (usually 5, 8, 13 or 21), but the peacock's feathers have the same count of spirals in both directions!
