New flowers include the daffodils, snapdragons, petunias and more. 
==== Daffodils ====
Daffodils naturally sprout after a snowfall and can survive upcoming snowfalls. Their sprout takes about 18000 ticks to mature, practically over a Minecraft day. Daffodils can be found spreading around swamps and temperate forests, they are quite common. 
==== Snapdragons ====
Snapdragons are varying flowers, meaning they can be as tiny as a pig to as high as an enderman. Snapdragon sprouts take about 20000 ticks to mature, practically almost 2.5 Minecraft days. Snapdragons typically die in snowfall despite the fact they are commonly found in steep mountains. They are found in mountainous and taiga areas, they are quite rare. 
==== Petunia ====
Petunias are varying flowers, they can vary from being red to purple. Petunias take about 17000 ticks to mature, practically around a Minecraft day. Petunias can live through snowfall if the snowfall isn't heavy. They are found in plains and forests, they are quite uncommon.
==== Pollen ====
Pollen can come from flowers and birch trees. Too many pollen can kill bees, flowers, or players. Pollen can sometimes be spotted floating around and dropping anywhere, It is recommended to grow flower indoor during pollen times. Pollen can be killed by snowfall or trees. 
==== Allergies ====
When outside, players can receive the allergy effect which typically lasts about a minute. These are common when handling tulips, dandelions, or gardening during pollen time. These will slow down the player and can be cured by drinking Medicine. 
==== Medicine ====
Medicine can be harvested by daffodils. Once drunk, you are immune to allergies for about 3 minutes. Medicine can be crafted using Daffodils and Glass bottles.
