A playful tool for evolving abstract art by choosing what grows next.
- Pick a starting bloom.
- Choose from nine variations to grow the next generation.
- Return to earlier blooms to explore another branch.
Explore new colors, re-bloom all traits, or plant another starting bloom. Download your favorite as a 2048×2048 PNG.
The artwork is static. Your picked blooms and branches stay available for the current browser session; reloading starts a new garden.
Use Node.js 22 and npm.
