I wouldn't think it possible to embroider something as delicate as a leaf, but Susanna Bauer, an artist in the UK, can do it. She carefully wraps and edges leaves and, even more impressively, splices and shapes them with thread.

Wikipedia:
'Needlework is a broad term for the handicrafts of decorative sewing and textile arts. Anything that uses a needle for construction can be called needlework. The definition may expand to include related textile crafts such as a crochet hook or tatting shuttles...'
The definition includes embroidery, but crochet and embroidery are not the same thing. A better description therefore might be 'amazing needlework on leaves.'
Nonetheless, the artwork you found is very cool; in that respect, it doesn't matter what term you use. Good find! :)
