Fuck yeah man, those things are great. I was doing some grocery shopping whilst pretty blazed a few weeks ago and saw one of those, it blew my mind for like 5 minutes. Totally fucking beautiful. And all the moreso cause it's edible!!
But seriously, these have to be one of the purest representations of fractals in nature that I've come across. I mean its just RIGHT THERE!!! Hahahaha...how to turn your kids into a maths nerd and like vegetables.
Of course I had to buy one. Tastes very similar to cauliflower. Excellent raw or in a curry / stirfry / whatever. Just watch out for those darned slugs and caterpillars when growing them.

haha, I'm just picturing some stoner staring at the produce, motionless, for 5 minutes while people move about, with his jaw hanging open.

But seriously, there's no better grocery shopping than baked grocery shopping... being stoned and surrounded by that many different types of food, it's a fucking wonderland man!

Thats really cool, I harvested two massive heads of romanesque a week ago. Forgot what they were, but you just reminded me! They taste great, my mom made an asian dish todady with 'em. My friends also thought they were really trippy...  Heres a pic

I also grew some purple caulis, had some in my salad for dinner. It went wonderfully with garden fresh radish and lettuce. Very colorful!

On the subject of crazy food, anyone ever seen one of these?
 Our friends brought one over from their garden the other day and it scared me. Buddha hand lemon, smells amazing. The top half was looked like a regular lemon but the bottom half looked like an octopus.
I was scared that thing was going to wake up and scramble away

Whoa thats awesome! Is that a fruit or a flower that looks like a fruit, like a fig? Any uses for it?
Back on the subject of the caulis, the romanesque taste alot like brocolli. But with a hint of sweetness... thats of course the homegrown version! The store bought versions don't seem to taste as good, they lose some flavor in transport. Watermelon is a prime example of this. The homegrown watermelon blows storebought out of the water.
If you have those cauli/brocolli seeds, start them now. Plant them as soon as you can, they thrive in cold weather. If it warms up you'll end up with less dense heads

Whoa... that's a pretty amazing looking plant. I'd love to get some of those going, can you get the seeds at most seed places and gardening stores?

As far as the Buddha Hand it's a type of citrus. Very much like a lemon
 Not good for eating, used mostly for it's fragrance (and boy did it smell nice) Just another cool member of the plant kingdom

i orderd them from an organic seed supplier, can't imagine they'd be hard to find 
nobody would have any ideas about preserving one to use as a trip toy at all?

You just have to trip when it's lookin good in the garden.
I second the request for the latin name of this plant. Gotta fucking grow some of these. After that 5 minute slack-jawed experience in the grocery store, I can only imagine growing them. I want to try time lapse photography on one!! Growing liquid fractal-ness.
