Fleurs du Mal is a competitive gardening game where players plant seeds and grow plants. Players join the game by placing a byte tag on the Microsoft Surface, which generates a water can start area. Other byte tags are placed on the screen to plant seeds. After a moment they begin to grow into plants. Players drag their water to a plant to begin nourishing it. If not it will turn brown after a few minutes and die. After a sufficient amount of water is added to a plant from one player it will change to that player's color. Whichever player gives a plant the most water during the course of its life receives points from that plant. Players can attempt to kill a plant by shading it with their hand or any other object they place on the Surface.
