I've been reading the documentation and I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

I see a lot of vectors, but it only renders one instance of the scatter object.

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks seghier, I realized that the reference object seemed to have an issue (it was originally exported from Rhino). But I still have a problem because I want to reference a group of objects instead of just one object. You can see in the partially rendered image in the screenshot below that the plane with the plant texture looks flat unless I have a couple of other planes rotated around a center axis.

Not using scatter in this image, you can see it looks good when the picture of the plant is rotated a couple of times: Image

EDIT: It looks like your file referenced the objects correctly? After my original post I changed the referenced object to a single face to test the scatter

yes i see that you used older version
but you used alot of instances and you can make variation with y rotation
