I was pretty excited to discover that my local Aldi had Romanesco cauliflower’s for sale – from Nottinghamshire no less.
Above are some pictures at various levels of zoom.
I really like looking at Romanesco cauliflower as it is possibly the closest approximation in nature to a mathematical fractal. Because of nature’s many approximations to fractals, fractal growth is incredibly important in computer games to create life-like environments.
If you are interested in coding a simple fractal check out my old post on Barnsley’s Fern.
