Mar govannen, mellyn-nin! In this suggestion, I will be covering the vast array of plants found in Middle-earth. I have created 116 different textures, including 47 total new species. This is a lot, and I understand if the mod team does not want to add all of these at once, due to clutter issues.

NOTE:''' There are so many textures in this suggestion, I found it better to not post them all here. Here is a link to a Dropbox file, which I encourage you all to to download and check out!'''

'''NOTE ON CLIMATE: I'm going to refer to four climate types in this suggestion, to save time when noting spawning details. Those are Northern, from Taiga to Rohan, Mediterranean, from Gondor to Harnen, Western, which is north of the Poros and west of the Sea of Rhun, and Montane, which is all mountains save Forodwaith, Orocarni, Mordor, and Harad.'''
