Thanks a lot. I think the model is getting closer and closer. Just texturing
isn't right....

Exactly. I never get it right. Either it looks like dry dust or it is glossy
like green silk.
Maybe I should make it simply white and ask the experts here for texturing

No, I'm sure that you are right. It IS too glossy. I will decrease it bit by
bit. At some point it should look right.
I think tha problem is, that (due to time reasons) I adjust the texture on a
single leaf. Once satisfied I apply it to the complete fern but then it
doesn't look right.
