IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

  Some flowers growing in a small space, sheltered from the vast nothingness
around them.

HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
  All flower petals are polygons.  The sunflower's petals were placed with a
#while loop;  I used the spiral2 texture on a small portion of sphere to make
its center.  The dome is a CSG subtraction of two stretched spheres with glass
texture.

KNOWN BUGS:
  This is my first IRTC entry, and it took about five times as long as I thought
it would to plan, implement, and tweak all the objects -- and this isn't a very
complicated scene!  Stems on the flowers tend to protrude into the petals, and
there's still something wrong with the sunflower's center.  Any advice
(especially not involving fancy modeling software) would be most appreciated.
