While @SkovandOfMitaze is on the mend thought I might contribute a few more photos more often. {Hang in there big guy.]
I just came across this photo of an interesting leaf I took on a garden tour in 2016. No idea what it is but doesn’t the edge of the leaf suggest a fractal like the Mandelbrot set?
Here is one more from the same garden. Another one I don’t know at all. I like the way the leaves emerge from and are arranged on the stem.
Oh, let’s finish the set. This one I include only because when I referred to it as a fancy leaf fern, some else asked if that was an official name. So a third person shared that her daughter referred to it as a pie crust fern.
Reminds me of several summers ago when I kept finding large stands of tansy weeds; at one point I encountered a small cluster that was heavily infested with tansy moths, so I pulled a jar from my backpack, collected about a hundred, and distributed them among all the stands where I hadn’t seen any.
What exotic folliage! And beautifully photographed!
You got just the right lighting to show the details in these photos.
“Pie Crust Fern” takes the cake!
Mandelbrot (which - with food-themed plant-names emerging here seems appriate to mention - means “almond bread” in German) Plant", or even fancier “Mandelbrot Fractal Plant” should be the official common name!
There is a distinct similarity, which I actually noticed, but knew the name for neither the plant nor the visual concept I had in mind.
