Hi MO,

I did use Aperture but it seems the leaves are rotated around the center, I mean they are not rotated around a pivot point on the lateral side of the sphere! ( I hope this explanation is good)

However, the way leaves rotate using your nodes is another type of movement which is interesting in its own rights! :-) And I can tell u it is possible to make a 3D printable design with such movement.
