Visual traits

  • A plant grows from one stem by repeatedly branching at a fixed angle (about 25°), with smaller copies of the same shape at every level
  • Branches thin out and lean toward the tips; the outline is irregular but self-similar
  • Seeds or florets spiral outward from a centre at the golden angle (137.5°), forming crossing spiral arms
  • Thin glowing lines in gold and green on a near-black background
  • In motion, the plant grows branch by branch

Prompt

L-system plant: a fractal plant grown from one stem by repeated branching at about 25°, self-similar at every level, branches thinning toward the tips, beside a phyllotaxis disc of florets spiralling out at the golden angle 137.5°, thin glowing gold and green lines on a near-black background. As video, the plant grows branch by branch.
