Gee this is a challenge. 
1/6, yes raid your fish tank for starters. Other than that, I would be looking at real plants. Small leaves off bushes, trees etc. Real grass even. You will need to learn the art of glycerine preservation and pressing in order to keep your plants lively and subtle.
Please PM me if you're interested and would like me to explain these techniques.
Regards.
