Hey, cool!

I do like that background...

(Post looks like it's kinda floating in space because there's no "ground"
anchoring it down.)

I like it. I also like the idea of raytraced signes to be able to point
in another direction than straight left or right.

It looks as if some leaves are a couple of millimeters thick. These 
leafs are in the shape of the green leaf in front of the pole. I do not
know the english name for the tree but it looks like the one that
may have the latin name of Platanus Acerifolia.

None of the leaves have stalks. I assume that is a result of the way
you generate them.

Yes, this is an problem with current leafs "implementation", thay are made 
as height-fiels, looking from front leaf is :

    (C)

 -_-_---__-
/          \    (A)
|          |
  
    (B)


so it in fact is thin, but if You look from direction (A) not (B)or(C) then 
it looks thick. In nevt version leaf shuld look correctly, like





 ___--__
/       \
         \_---   (a hardly "crushed by wind" leaf)

etc.

Stalks means "talis" ? Yes, I will probably do them separetly as i.e. 
cylinder (or sphere sweep/spline)

I understand that, and that was one of the reasons why I proposed to
use triangulations. Another was that it might be faster as I use
only a few hundred triangles to get a reasonably accurate shape.
By the way I am now working on a butterfly with control over the
angle of the wings. Another thing I can not do with hightfields
because the wings would expand with increasing angle.
(If you mail me the image of a leaf I can convert it for you
and you can compare the results. If you are reading the news:
on a system that hides my e-mail adress, it is a_linnenbank
in the hotmail domain which I only use for junk but will read
it more frequently in the coming days).

What language is 'talis'? And yes, from your answer I infer that
that is what I meant. Cylinders are not realistic enough and
sphere sweeps are, in my experience, slow. I would say: go for
bicubic patches.
