What i would be tempted to do is use the software to create the plant, and then
dissect it into its component pieces.

Then you could have a reasonably manageable assortment of stems, leaves, flower
centers, flower petals, etc that you could store as objects in an array.

Then you could just write a macro to choose random parts and reassemble the
plant.

Once you had all of the pieces, it would probably be fairly straightforward to
fit a standard texture or a uv-map to each part type.   Always try to break down
a complex task into a series of smaller, simpler tasks.
