I like taking the "dig the patterns in this leaf" approach instead of the L-system fractal approach.

That's incredible! (I don't know what the L-system is---I know what fractal means so I assume you're not talking about the "El" train)
Looks like a yellow artichoke, after you've peeled down all the leaves. Or a button.
So, what is it? A mum before it reaches motherhood? A mum bud.

looks like a sunflower in early stage of blooming; what is L fractal-how does it get a limit?

Here's a bit of an explanation of L-system fractals, and some pretty pictures of them:

This center of a daisy, however, is not an example of an L-system fractal.
It reminded me of the (sometimes purposely) unnoticed complexity of nature. Dave summed up pretty well a struggle that I face too, between unassuming acceptance-satisfaction and quest for understanding.
