That´s what Keith found about this wonderful fibonacci broccoli!!!
www.ilseanderson.com/2017/06/beautiful-vegetable-fibonacci-broccoli-also-mathematical
"The Romanesco Broccoli is nothing short of a mathematical marvel, reminiscent of the Fibonacci series – a sequence of consecutive numbers that add up to the next number. Like: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, and so on. So how can a broccoli imitate a series of numbers? Simple. On closer inspection, the Romanesco is revealed to have a spiral starting from the center point. All the smaller florets are arranged around this spiral. In essence, this is the Fibonacci spiral – a series of arcs with radii that follow the Fibonacci sequence. If you count the number of spirals in each direction, they will always be consecutive Fibonacci numbers. A math lesson on a vegetable – isn’t that amazing?"

Thanks so much Keith ;)

I have never seen this kind of broccoli, but I new only a little bit about its mathematical importance. (I could never repeat the facts, though!) Gorgeous macro, Tanja!

Stunning colour! A superb photo. Even more impressive on black. A good choice of music too, Tanja.

Sieht schon toll aus, dieser Kohl, auf dem ersten Blick (mit seinen türmchenförmigen Röschen) als käme er von einem anderen Stern ;-)
Übrigens, nicht nur in den Spiralen des Romanescos, sondern auch in den Samenbeständen der Sonnenblume erkennt man die Fibonacci-Folge.
