Excited to see a chapter on L-systems. I just discovered these recently and was amazed at the beautiful results from simple grammars.

For anyone else interested, there's a free PDF book all about the subject. It's "The Algorithmic Beauty of Plants"

Here's a cached version of the first chapter, as the site appears to be down:
