A lot of things are fractals. But this one is an awesome sample.

Bravo Johan!
It's a cactus and also a Venus Fly trap (dionaea)

It's a bit scary but mostly it's fascinating, I think we don't yet realise how fundemental this 3D fractal geometry will turn out to be in our understanding of nature. There are too many similarities showing up.

This is stupendous! When I saw the thumb, I thought it was a photograph in the wrong category. I love Mandelbulbs. I just wish I knew how to tweak them better. What program is this from? Really awesome and it does look just like a cactus. Great job! Instant !

Thanks!
The program I use for my mandelbulbs is Subblues Pixelbenderscript, you can find the link in my journal:

Never thought you could find a cactus in a
Mandelbulb! Even the color seem to match.

he didn't find it, he tweaked it. Changing variations, numbers or even its core algorithm.

Thought he found it within. It's still nice though.

Everything is there, you just have to look close enough!
