I really wish to know if there is any good and detailed practical material on L-System for plant growth and development apart from the Algorithmic beauty of plants?

I want to simulate the growth of waterleaf plant (Talinum triangulare) and see the effect of environment and other factors on the plant.

I have tried to use cpfg in L-Studio and I recently saw few articles on Blender, but all these seem not good for me to get the work done.

I will appreciate your comments and supports to find a solution to this task.
