You know you've done a VERY nice job modeling the flower. The pistal and
stamen are dead on.
Leaves .... YES! (just a few)

Yeah, I'm considering the Zazzle option. :)
As for source code, I'll probably release certain macros that have helped me
create the image, but not the complete source.

Hmm, I'll look into it. I can see that it almost looks like it's free
hanging.

Green doesn't work well. A *little* green added to brown just makes it more
yellow and makes it look even more unhealthy. It's all brown or all green,
nothing in between, and green doesn't work for me here (I've tried - it
ruins the feel I want to create).
However, I'm experimenting with other more healthy looking shades of brown.

I'm glad to hear that! I've been working mostly from reference images.

Hmm. It's been difficult for me to find good reference images of metal up
very close. I'm definitely going for "new". How do you mean that new metal
is more shiny? Overall, I'm satisfied with the metal myself though at this
point.

I'm experimenting with a better texture for the stems.

As indicated in other posts, it's not hanging. I've changed the piece so
that this is a bit more clear to see.

Because of the shape I would say it's extruded aluminum. Have a look at
these pics. They sorta show the shinyness I was talking about.
Search for "aluminum extrustions"

Because of the extrusion process this kind of aluminum has a "brushed" look
to it.

I found the other post clarifying it

I totally agree.
In fact, what I was thinking about (to make my intention clearer) was to
have some thin, greenish, traces inside the overall brown texture and along
the stems. But that might also ruin your intention/vision. You will come up
with just the perfect solution, I am sure :-)

Well that is interesting actually. I'm already doing just that, only with
white instead of green. I didn't find any reference images of stems where
brown and green is mixed, but I'll look into the possibility.

I hope so. :)

I think that white will indeed work better for your image. My green
suggestion is probably based on the twig/bark transition that you can see in
young trees or in young branches. As an afterthought, this would not be so
realistic in your case.

THere are also the thorny and berry type plants that have green/red combined
