Hi Tithrus, hello all,

I struck on this beauty not long after I sent my latest. In short, it looks a lot like fire!

Well spotted! I looked closer at it, modified the parameters a bit, and what we thought was a circle is in fact a vortex! The cool thing about it is the stem and the twirls around the vortex are what seems to be the same thing. Although it is a normal behaviour in strange attractors (because of the sensitivity to initial conditions, one feature will affect the whole attractor) it is nice to see a beautiful closed system like this one.
