Model name help

can anyone think of a good name for this model?

it's basically a 3-d version of fujimoto's hydrangea, but that doesn't have much of a ring to it. I'm trying to think of some quaint vegetable or plant-like thing that somewhat resembles it, but I'm failing.

bonus: if I use someone's suggestion, I'll have to mention them in my diagrams for it which may or may not appear anywhere...

If you want a mathematical name, something like Fibonacci Tower might work well -- it reminds me of some of the patterns seen in nature that display the Fibonacci sequence.

Maybe I'll think of something less abstract though ...

Sort of basing off of Gadi Vishne's idea, Fractal Flower

Artichoke? Maybe?

Artichoke would fit if you curved the flaps up.

Any chance of a CP? I love this model, and it seems like it would be a repeating pattern so it should be easier to draw than most.

CP:

(it's kinda hastily drawn, but you should get the idea)

yeah, thanks, artichoke sounds good. I was actually using that name for another thing I folded, but I think this trumps it.
