They're spider plants.

It is already slightly rotated! By 1 degree to be precise. I think it's 
enough to make it look like it's not perfectly straight, and I don't want to 
turn it more since I think people would try to place their chessboard 
roughly aligned to the table.

Absolutely stunning!! Very lovely picture and it has certainly improved in
its photorealsim since your earlier picture. I like everything however
someone else mentioned the plants and I think I would agree that they do
appear as slightly the wrong size in some way.

Congrats on such a wonderful picture!

I think the plants look fine. they look line larger garden plants that
haven't flowered yet.

I think you gave up on the render and replaced it with a photo. :-)

You know you've been raytracing too long when you look at those 
triangular road signs which have a square background...and wonder why 
they didn't just alpha-channel them!

The plants and the leafless trees place the scene somewhere during spring. This 
reinforced by the, still, mostly baren ground. Very nice.

I think its great! A very fancy RSOCP. I like that table texture also, so
I'm grabbing it from the old post. Thanks for supplying it.

I just love it! A degree of perfection that I am quite unable to emulate 
:-)

Alternate version with grass + more dead leaves. I definitely prefer the 
spider plants but I think I'll try combining both versions
