I only just heard of this game from listening to the 1Up podcast. Here's the wiki for a description:
Each level takes place in a different flower's dream as it sits on the windowsill of a dull city apartment. As the player progresses through the game, the apartment and city gradually becomes more vibrant and colourful. The player guides a petal through brightly coloured, abstract fields by tilting the motion-sensitive controller, pressing any button on the controller gives a speed boost. The aim is to guide the petal into other flowers in the field, triggering an explosion of colour that spreads through the game world. Flower utilizes the Sixaxis motion controls in the PlayStation 3 controller, and it is used to direct the flower petals around the map.
This looks like a great game to play when you're pretty stressed out or just can't be bothered have play a game with demanding levels of concentration. It's on sale on the PSN for just over £6 which for me seems pretty good. I also like the fact that it uses the sixaxis, which untill this game I though was something to ruin games (e.g. GTA 4 flying).
It's a shame that I don't have a PS3 because i'd really like to play it. My housemate has a PS3, although I don't think this game would apeal to her at all so going splitzies is out of the question :<
This game looks great and has gotten amazing and high scoring reveiws. I'd recommend it for anyone who owns a PS3 and is into indie type games like audiosurf.

As a sidenote I just love that this happy folk singing, flying, light video about flowers has the completly brute force "THIS IS A PS3 GAME" type opening and closing
