I do this constantly. I have always assumed I was the only one, because if I were even kinda like other people, it'd be one of the quickest ways to destroy your own website.

PlantStudio from 1997-2001

PlantStudio Botanical Illustration Software is a tool for creating 3D plant models and 2D illustrations. PlantStudio simulates herbaceous (non-woody) plants like wildflowers and cut flowers, vegetables, weeds, grasses, and herbs using a parameter-driven simulation of plant growth and structure.

Looks like Plant Studio:

Others have already told you the name of the project, but if you happen to be on Arch, I have a PKGBUILD written for PlantStudio. I haven't published it to the AUR since I don't necessarily want to be the maintainer though. Shoot me an email (in my bio) if you're interested
