:carrot: Welcome to the Horticulture challenge! :carrot:
WTF?? Has this forum become gardeners question time? Well, no not really.. I was just thinking about watching plants growing and of how fantastic they look.. thinking of the way that they look, the way they grow, change, wither, die, flourish, transform the land....
What about making something alien? Or maybe in a cartoon style? Sub-Aqua?
Plant varieties are really diverse, you could even go down the sci-fi horror avenue if you wanted and make some triffids like the classic horror film!
You don't have to do it all with maths this time, but if you want to make some fractal trees, they are welcome too :)
