Well, Mike ran in to problems getting ldjam.com working properly with about 12 hours left in the Compo, so this is the backup plan.
Grow beautiful plants. Every plant looks different. Plants mutate and get new color, new blooms, leaves. They change in size and node count.
I think plant reproduction could have been better communicated. Just in case:
Plants only reproduce after growing up and after putting them down into a free spot.
Made with C++, OpenGL & SDL2
Tools used where Inkscape, Blender <3, Gedit and Codeblocks.

Loved the music and slow pace. Graphics fit well. Couldn't get a flower with no stems to grow though, even after multiple restarts and many minutes right-clicking.
@Meta-link:
Thanks!
@MessinaBrothers:
Have you picked up and "replanted" a flower? I think i maybe should've better communicated that part. Thanks for taking the time to give feedback!
Really calm and relaxing, even kind of zen. I really liked it :)
I've looking for this kind of game with random generation since Plants vs Zombies garden part. That was interesting one for me. Room to grow!
Nice graphics! Beautiful game, I love the flowers. Also, the tutorial is very well done and written. I think some goals would be nice gameplay wise - but apart from that it is a great flower breeding simulator :)
Getting the following error on Linux: "./Plantolution: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.21' not found (required by ./Plantolution)"

Original and relaxing game. Adding some objectives (even if there's only a few of them) was a nice polish, it allows to understand how the flower's generation works. I found the plant reproduction well made and interesting. As for the graphics, they are minimalist but it's enough and allow to focus on the plants themselves. The music is relaxing and fit well the kind of game. Good and innovative entry ! :)
Thanks guys!

Thanks, i have now included that lib in the download.
One of my favourites so far! It's lovely to look at and really calming! At first I was slightly confused about what to do when nothing happened after I put a flower into one of the rounded pots, but after reading the tutorial again (carefully this time) I figured it out! It feels very polished and complete!
The game crashes instantly on my machine when trying to run the game
Amazing job, the amount of different features that can vary is quite impressive and they were all very well executed, god some nice results in the end. Though at start it was a bit confusing how the reproduction works and that the 3 pots are for saving some progress.
Cute little game! I enjoyed growing the flowers and selecting the best one to continue with. It wasn't immediately clear how the game worked, but I figured it out before reading your instruction in the comments.
I kinda wish there was some additional intervention the player could use to affect the results.
Graphics are decent, though I'm not fond of the isometric perspective - I think a true perspective probably would've looked better. The music suits the calmness. Sound effects are basic but effective.
