Science
The dandelion seedhead has a fuzzy white bulb that features a unique radiating spiral pattern of florets when viewed closer.
The flower stems radiate outward, and the end of each flower stem contains a smaller radiating pattern of florets.
This pattern is repeated at a smaller scale, making the dandelion seedhead fractal in nature.
This seedhead develops into the classic yellow flower head with many florets.
