Your are doing nothing wrong. It's just that you expect a different result. Try
changing the plane to a checker 
  plane { <0, 1, 0>, -1
    pigment {
      checker
      color rgb 1
      color blue 1
      scale 0.5
    }
    finish{
      diffuse 0.8
      ambient 0.1
    }
}

and move the camera back to get a better view. Also note what Warp wrote.

Regards
        Stephen
