Romanesco

Brassica oleracea

Description:

Romanesco, also known as Romanesque cauliflower or Romanesco broccoli, is an edible flower bud of the species Brassica oleracea. First documented in Italy, it is light green in color. Romanesco has a striking appearance because its form is a natural approximation of a fractal. (Wikipedia)

Notes:

Is this a cultivated species of something natural - does it belong here?

Brilliant. Cultivated or not the genetics provided the means. Fractal and maybe around Fibonacci numbers? Fabulous spotting.
