O.k., I see where this is leading to... I would like to include a bit more
randomness to my leaves, but perhaps one could simply add some small amount of
variation to the mathematical formula.

For me, the diversity of approaches possible in Pov-Ray is really amazing. I am
doing this for quite some time, but nevertheless, there are always approaches,
which I never tried and I have problems to understand...

Another thing I wanted to add when thinking about the past is how glad I am that
splines have become available under Pov-Ray. Sphere-sweeps were terrible...
