Fractals in Fruit

We bought a pineapple for dinner yesterday and I noticed the individual small fruits that made up the entire pineapple were fractals.  A fractal is a mathematical set that typically displays self-similar patterns.  Fractals can be exactly the same each time they are repeated, or like in my picture, almost the same each time.  These fractals aligned just so that I could see a part of the Fibonacci Sequence.  The Fibonacci Sequence is a series of numbers where each number is the sum of the two previous numbers.  For example, the 5 yellow fractals and the 8 green fractals make up the 13 blue fractals in my picture.  I thought this was fascinating because I never really paid attention to the way fractals make up entire objects and how the Fibonacci Sequence is common in nature.  (~MG1)
