As suggested, I tried making the spikes out of isosurfaces. Took me a
while to figure out how to do it but as you can see, I managed.

Its nice, and resembles an Aloe-vera plant. :)
Need small, hooked spikes on the leaves.

The colours and texture (still) look very good.
Is there any improvement in using isosurfaces?

They allow me to add curvature and random defects. They're a bit slower,
though, so it's a tradeoff.

There is a strong resemblence to aloe...the only difference is that on
every aloe plant I have seen, the leaves don't "fan out", they are
opposite each other and lined up in a vertical plane, each leaf is
always 180 degrees apart from the previous and the next.

That depends on the growing conditions. I have some that grow around the
corner of my house and they are 180 on the west side and 360 on the south
side. I have some who start out 180 and then go 360.

With leaves only growing on one side of the plant? Are you sure someone
isn't just using the leaves on the other side? :-)
Funny this came up now...I just had to use some on a bad scalding burn I
got on my hand from some very fresh coffee...

No, I was using a short cut I thought you would get... some with leaves
growing 0` and 180`, some growing with leaves pointing all around. I also
seem to remember (it's too cold to go look) that the closer they are
together, the more they grow in just two directions.

It now looks even better, just put a lot of them on a nice isosurface
landscape, add radiosity, area light, ... and wait a loooooong time till
it's finished. :-)
