In 1952 Alan Turing wrote a paper titled "The Chemical Basis of Morphogenesis" in which he described a theory of how patterns, such as dots or stripes, can arise in homogeneous systems under certain conditions.

In these works a compressible fluid flow is colored and stirred by a multi-scale Turing pattern. A bilateral symmetry is imposed.

The colors are re-mapped by a function reminiscent of the "solarization" technique in photography.

The result is most definitely not an orchid.
