Fractal Broccoli

Believe it or not, this is a real kind of broccoli.

Check out all of the nifty recursions. This is Romanesco Broccoli and it is a fractal because its whole is the same shape as its parts. Crazy-uber-wacked.

That is the coolest thing ever.

Yeah, click on the 'nifty recursions' link and then click on the image that loads to see a larger image. It is very convoluted.

I stumbled across your blog while I was doing some online research. This is so beautiful that at first I questioned whether it could possibly be real. Is it possible, I wonder, to buy seeds for this variety from a catalog?
