That isn't a texture. The way I modeled the center is I modeled a single
small object, it looks like the bud on a tree, in Rhino. Then I exported it
to povray and using scripting I arrayed them in the shape you see. I used
the formula for an ellips to get the x and y translation and then I just
rotated it around the y axis equal to the 360/(circumference of circle at
that point/budwidth). Then I randomly coloured it. The fact that it is
described using the ellips formula, means I can change it's radius and heigh
and the rest will be calculated automatically. I used a similar idea for the
pedals. I modeled 3 pedels in Rhino and used a #switch directive to radomly
chose among the 3, this gives it more variation.

I agree that the body of the flower is too simplistic but I don't think that
would be solved by adding more pedels, I quite like the number right now.
What I could change is the base object. Right now the base, the part the
pedals attach to, is just a scaled down sphere.

Thanks! It did start as an exersize but I liked the image more and more as
it progressed.
