Ok, so since my translation is the trace output and the vector I wish to 
reorient towards is the normal, would I do this:

   object {
    mossFrond(5,6,<0,0,0>,0.125*0.5,frond)
    Reorient_Trans(mossVectArray[i],normVectArray[i])
    translate mossVectArray[i]
   }

That seems to get me close, but still some point straight up which should 
not, and those which are pointing in a direction are aimed toward the 
opposite of where they should be.

I'll post an image in p.b.i. (accidently posted one here earlier as I forgot 
I was in p.g...need sleep...)
