strange problem with background

Hello everyone
First i must admit that I’m fairly new to game development. I had some practice, but i still have a lot to learn.
Take this problem for example. I think this screenshot says it all:
I have placed a plane (polygon) in the background with a transparent png file on it. This is to create a surrounding view for the test I’m working on. When I place a standard “shrub” from the library, this problem occurs. The shrub is pretty far from the background (almost in the center of the scene).
For those wandering what this strange scene is about. I’m from Holland, everything is pretty flat here. I’m trying to recreate the square in front off the central station in Amsterdam.
I’m also working on a model for the station and when i look towards that model everything seems fine.
Can anyone help me with this problem please?

The topic in the edit was very usefull. I didn't work with the material editor before. I just created my own .cs file, but this works much better.
The solution for my problem was disabeling "transparent blend" at the advanced menu.
edit: i also enabled "alpha treshold"
