Fan-shaped Fennel Flowerhead

Phew, I've done it! MonoMonday's challenge, hosted by KangaZu, is the Letter F - and x3 if you can manage it (make it up). And not a naughty word in sight either :)

Plus KangaZu is suggesting we might add 4 interesting and fun facts about ourselves, as an extra challenge. 
I frequently fabricate facts, fudging facetious fables, fearing the feasibility of feathering my own nest. Can you follow my focussing on foibles and obfuscations?
