Documents

This one-page PDF contains some of the flowers I grew in the last day of development for the Android Developer Challenge 2. You can use this document to try out scanning flowers. Here's how:

Download the the document, print it out, open the Daisy Garden application, choose Scan Flower from the menu and then follow the on-screen instructions.

Save paper by scanning the flowers straight from your computer screen.
