Amazing Fractals Found in Nature

Romanesco Broccoli Romanesco broccoli blooms in a golden spiral that is based on the golden ratio, despite the fact that it is a hybrid of broccoli and cauliflower.

Pine Cones The woody, scaly fruits known as pine cones, or strobili, hang from evergreen trees and act as the seeds' organs.

Succulents Spiral phyllotaxy is the name given to fractal patterns in plant biology; the term "phyllotaxy" merely refers to a plant's leaf arrangement.

Ice and Snow While no two snowflake patterns are exactly same, many are fractal in nature, with each branch of a snowflake producing its own side branches and so on.

Tree Branches Similar to the spiralling of succulents, this type of fractal design enables trees to maximise their exposure to sunlight and avoids upper branches from blocking off lower ones.

Copper Crystals Copper crystals are frequently cultivated for art because of their unusual reddish-brown colour and arborescent character.

Rivers Self-similarity is characteristic of fractals and the reason why rivers look alike all around the world.

Leaf Veins The veins of the leaves are quite similar to one another, as you can see if you look at them attentively.

Foam Outside of nature, you'll see these fractal designs in a soapy bath or while doing dishes in the sink.
