Some Flowers for Mother's day :)

Only with classical shapes (bicubic_patch, cylinder, cube, ...)
The plant consists of L-Systems, done in three parts, 
the floor is cubes/cylinders/spheres

Some hours of work, not quite perfect, 

Comments?

Looks nice.  Fine enough if you aren't one to scrutinize renders  ;-)
so most mothers would love it without questioning probably.
Got to say I like those clouds.  Just Wednesday morning I was driving
along and saw very similar clouds in the far distance.
I think if you had some thickness on the leaves it would survive the
profile views, such as those see at upper left of the pot, better.

I like them very much - I want some for my little balcony !

How did you do the blue crown(?)-leafs?

And what is a L-System?

The Leave's profile itself is quite thick, but of couse the Leafes are
thinning out towards the end.  Otherwise, they have a snipped look.
I am already trying to find a middle way.

The whole Plant is a combination of three L-Systems, one for the bottom
leafes and the stems, one for the blossom-branches and the third for the
blossoms.  

the blossom-leafes themselves are made with sPatch, a detail-picture is
attached

For the center, probably a sphere would have done, but i liked the
cylinders.

L-Systems (Lindenmayer-Systems) are rule based descriptions of geometric
structures, normally in form of a String.  In most simple versions it
only allows to draw lines and turn into different directions.  

Most well known program is LPARSER: http://www.xs4all.nl/~ljlapre/

I used a custom program I wrote myself, perhaps I could publish it
sometimes, but it needs some work to be handled by someone who did not
originally program it :-)

Wow! Thats a really great plant. Good details. I wish I knew how to make
plants like that.
