kalin 0 Posted January 16, 2003 I am really at a loss... Some kind of underwater shot? Too clear to be. Or microscope shot? Too sharp focused to be. No idea :-( Please tell us! Link to comment
david_eppstein 0 Posted January 18, 2003 I hadn't realized such pure fractals existed in nature. Very nice.Added June 3 '03: I got some email today from Ed Pegg (a recreational math fan) telling me this stuff is called "Broccoli Romanesco". If you search for that phrase on Google you can find more photos of it, but none as good as this one. Link to comment
ben_saucer 0 Posted July 30, 2004 Looks like "broccoflower", which I used to see in the grocery store years ago. Link to comment
kat_crawford 0 Posted January 14, 2006 I contributed a photo I took very similar to this many years ago to a fractal site. They actually thought it was art, Nature sure makes the most amazing math huh. Link to comment
hanfsamen 0 Posted July 16, 2009 Wow, beautiful shot. Actually it kind of reminds me of math classes in a way. Square Functions and all describing the growth of the cauliflower .. whatever thats just me probably. regards Hanfsamen Link to comment
