This is a very interesting direction.  I can imagine it applied to the 
modellings of other natural systems (especially bifurcating structures 
), but not just trees.  Looking forward to where this takes you.

Would you order it?

Thank you.  The style is somewhat different from those 'fluorescence'
pictures by Ryan Bliss.  I don't use transparency and this makes the
appearance more 'solid' i think (transparency would probably not look that
good with such more detailed objects).

Could you give an example?

Oh my God! That is so absolutely mentally brilliant!!! What a colour... what
a shape!... What a pattern...

That is just ridiculusly fantastic! It's seeing stuff like this that keeps
me going with POV-Ray... dreaming that maybe one day I'll come up with
something half as good...

I'm impressed.

It is really not that special.  Neither the texturing nor the geometry are
technically tricky.  But i agree that's one of the most appealing aspects
of POV - with some scripting and a bit of patience to experiment you can
achieve a lot of nice things...

I guess I was thinking mainly of the human body, the bronchial tubes in 
the lung for instance, or the structure of arteries, or the nervous system.
