The Mandelbrot set M is a subset of the parameter plane for iteration of the complex quadratic polynomial Q c ( z ) = z 2 + c . M consists of those c values for which the orbit of 0 is bounded. This set features a basic cardioid shape from which hang numerous 'bulbs' or 'decorations'. Each of these bulbs is a large disk that is directly attached to the main cardioid together with numerous other smaller bulbs and a prominent 'antenna'. In this thesis we study the geometry of bulbs and some 'folk theorems' about the geometry of bulbs involving spokes of the antenna.
