Thanks!

As of yet, the petals are 2D smooth-triangle-meshes.

I do want to write a Macro which takes the
node-array as input and outputs a very thin, but
3D mesh. Perhaps I'll try to use scattering media
instead of actual textures, or at least in addition to
that, since sub-surface-scattering of light isn't
that rare in flower's petals.

I've also just implemented a little algorithm
to keep track at which angles the petals
were placed. Next ones nearby will then
be placed with enough difference in angle, so
that they won't overlap. But that isn't finished
yet.
