That reminds me of an animation I did of cones moving according to pov's
vturbulence() function, and by offsetting the turbulence over time I got a
pretty good effect for blades of grass moving in the wind! I can't remember
if I posted the animation though...

Anyway, your animation's very nice. I suggest trying some more complicated
functions. BTW, how does it decide what colour to use?
