That image at the top is eerily like Romanesco. I actually thought it was at first, but it's synthetic if you look at the left part (... or is it?). [0] https:

- danwills 1y agoI think that actually is a photo of Romanesco or at least a pretty good fake!

- teekert 1y agoSince the left is so distant, I couldn't believe it was real. But it seems to be indeed. Very nice image.
- Sharlin 1y agoI don't think it's distant? The buds are just physically smaller there.

- YcYc10 1y agoIt is broccoli.
- teekert 1y agoYeah it's also called Romanesco-Broccoli. Normal Broccoli is like this [0] [0] https://duckduckgo.com/?q=broccoli&t=ffab&ia=images&iax=images https://duckduckgo.com/?q=broccoli&t=ffab&ia=images&iax=imag...
- sva_ 1y agoInterestingly, you can often find fractal-like structures in nature as it is the result of maximizing surface area (to absorp sunlight) while minimizing space and energy used. Indeed, you can find an approximation to the (logarithmic) golden spiral in a romanesco, as each spiral arm is about the ratio of the Fibonacci sequence.
- Sharlin 1y agoIt's also one of the simplest possible shapes to encode, repeating the two basic instructions "grow" and "branch" independent of where in the plant you are.
- ndsipa_pomu 1y agoI would have bet a sizable amount of money (maybe 50 english pence) that the picture was of a Romanesco. They're one of my favourite vegetables though not commonly found in supermarkets round my way.
