Oh, thanks for finding this. I haven't got around to scanning my Wyeth's
landscapes book to use as visual references.

It may be interesting to make sure that the sky and sun colors/textures are
right before tweaking the plant ones, because we usually see plants under
the sky. Plant greens take a lot of tweaking in any case.
About the layers trick, having another layer of slightly different green can
help too. We can really be thankful of the way POV-Ray does instanciation,
because it's one of the few 3D software that can manage gigantic (mesh)
plant populations without complaining.
