Here's a wallpaper of Romanesco Broccoli. It is notable as a great example of a fractal in nature. The spirals follow a Fibonacci sequence. The second picture captures some pigeons spaced according to the Fibonacci sequence. The interger sequence is (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, ...) and is generated by starting with 0, 1 and then extending the sequence by adding the last last two. It shows up everywhere in nature. Anyway, thought of broccoli and thought of this.
