See also Brassica Oleracea aka wild cabbage which we've cultivated into cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, collard greens, savoy cabbage, kohlrabi, gai lan.. etc

we've even cultivated it into magical artefacts, romanesco broccoli

I love the texture of cooked romanesco, it's as if potatoes and broccoli got together and decided to have a fractal baby

Fun fact, apparently nature can only do fractals 4 levels deep. This works for romanesco, fern, and tons of others. I am yet to find an outlier.
