Petals: Fine Flickr Flowers

Last week, I posted Plumage, a small application that renders feathers from Flickr photographs. This week's project is more spatial and more floral. Petals (http://www.blprnt.com/petals) grows a collage of generated flowers from any .JPG or .PNG image. You can either search for images with Flickr tags, or enter in the URL for an image of your choice. The application then starts to grow a population of flowers, using your image data as a 'soil base'.

When I was a kid, I used to love those giant flower beds that spelled out words, or grew into slogans… now I can create one of my own from any image I'd like.

As always, I'd welcome any suggestions or comments.
