Pictures like those give me 2 reactions.

1: Wow so pretty and cool!
2: Why didn't God stop here and not make flies and mosquitoes. xD

These are some incredible plant/flower representations of fractals, 2-ton; thanks for sharing the link. :)

Terrific fractals 2-ton; thanks for pointing them out. I am about to check out my own garden to see if there is anything similar there :)

Fractal: "A fractal is a natural phenomenon or a mathematical set that exhibits a repeating pattern that displays at every scale"

While some images clearly exhibit complex structures, I think it's not enough say they are fractal. Some of the flowers for instance, do not exhibit the same pattern at multiple scales. Looks a bit like a buzzword for clicking on the page :)

Indeed, I do believe that the word 'fractal' is used very loosely by the general public.

Fractals appear in many, many things in nature. Including the human body. Ratios of the hand, ratios of the body itself. Fractals appear "Everywhere" in nature. These are just a few:
