I noticed that the image from the first iteration is used recursively as a new "line segment" in the second iteration. I used this idea to write a recursive rule that has one stem with two branches coming off of it. I also noticed that in the second iteration, each repeated segment rotates off of the previous one. To account for this, I added a rotation at the end of the entire recursive rule.

## 2. Square grammar puzzle
How about this one?\

Similar to the previous puzzle, the pattern is plugged recursively into itself. I simply made a recursive rule for the L-system that goes straight, turns clockwise, goes straight, turns counter-clockwise, goes straight, turns counter-clockwise again, goes straight, turns clockwise, and goes straight.

## 3. Custom plant
Choose a plant in the world. Working off a reference, design a grammar that mimics the structure of that plant. Unlike our simple puzzles, please use multiple rules for greater complexity. You can take this as an opportunity to design a grammar for your homework assignment! Include images of your grammar's output.

## Submission
- Create a pull request against this repository
- In your readme, list your solutions to the puzzles, then your custom grammar and images of a few iterations of output
- Profit

I used the idea of a recursive rule that was implemented in the previous two parts. I started out creating a fern-like shape by having a middle stem with branches going off of it symmetrically that gradually taper towards the top of the branch. I then added a few commands to pitch down and roll clockwise at certain points in the rule. This was to add some more dimension to the shape and get a spiral shape.
