    cutting a cantaloupe (or any melon) in half through the width (rather than the length) yields interesting results.

    p.s. the melon is still edible when you cut it in half that way.

    Old post, but, have you ever seen Romanesco broccoli? It's got a similarly amazing fractal look: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanesco_broccoli

      Back in 2008 I linked to the Wikipedia page on logarithmic spirals, but I didn't embed the image.

      The sunflower (and probably other flowers) is also relevant:

      Tx for the reminder, Emily.
