I'm not sure if i understand this right, you use a slope pattern in
direction of the main light to texture the side facing the light with some
normal plant texture and the other side with an ambient finish to simulate
the light scattered?

Your scene, although being impressive by the sheer amount of plants, seems
to lack the contrast in the colors you usually would expect for a view
against the light.  

A scene showing this quite well is:
