Hi all,
sure, we all know the romanesco.
But with the eys with a bit of a grasshopper background I was blown away by it´s high regularity of those spirals of little dimples. After a short research, it turned out to be an order in fibonacci spirals. Isn´t that awesome? It makes my skills here feel really small. Also I imagine that mankind has seen (and even eaten) stuff since thousand of years that we are cranking around now with computers.
Well, see this as an challenging inspiration!

check out the article about self similarity on wikipedia. Strange enough they have other examples on the same topic on the german article: Selbstähnlichkeit
