There are a few plant generation macros on this server in the 
povray.binaries.scene-files and povray.text.scene-files groups, and you 
could probably find something on the POV-Ray links page: 
http://povray.org/links/

No official version has ever supported a "glow" effect, the closest 
thing would be halo, which has been replaced with media. You might be 
thinking of the glow patch, which was written for an older version 
(3.0.x?) and part of POV-AFX (atmospheric effects). I updated and 
heavily modified that patch for MegaPOV:

However, it is very incomplete, and won't be included in POV 3.5, I 
suggest you use media.

It sounds like you're speaking of a preview mode...this has been 
discussed, but would require lots of modifications and would be 
difficult to make platform independant.
