This giant water lilly pad - about 5 feet across - is in the greenhouses at Kew Gardens in London, England.
Looks like a pretty good boat - except the ribs are on the outside of the hull!
In Cleveland, Ohio there has been discussions around the possible economic promises of using "biomimicry" to improve the engineering and design of manufactured products.
The Moen "Fibonacci [1]" "spiral" shower head is purported to be one such biomimicked product.
I don't think so.
Over the next weeks I will put other images here of natural designs which clearly have been instrumental in inspiring manufactured products - like self furling sails and velcro
