New plant: Jungle Flowers

I came up with this idea as both a new decorative block, and a way to encourage exploration.

Concept Art

-GENERATION-

Jungle flowers (or exotic flowers, tropical flowers, etc.) generate on top of grass in any Jungle biome, including Jungle Edge. When they generate, they grow as a cluster, which will remove any bushes it overlaps. This is to give players a short break from hopping over bushes while exploring a jungle. They come in 7 colors: red, orange, yellow, blue, light blue, purple, and pink. Generated clusters will all be the same color.

-GENERAL INFO-

Jungle flowers use the same model as Coral Fans on the floor. You can place them on walls, where they use the same model, unlike coral fans. At night, or in the dark, the flowers fold up (which would require a separate texture from the open ones). They can be placed on any solid block face, and even on leaves. The flowers attract parrots, and prevent hostile mob spawns within 3-4 blocks, if they're unfolded. You need Shears to collect a jungle flower, and you can also put it in your hair. Bone meal will make them spawn more, but only in jungles.

-CRAFTING-

Jungle flowers can be made into 2 of the respective dye.

    Great idea and art, I like that idea of them folding up at night, but perhaps they emit a light level of 2? Maybe just finding them at night lightly glowing is kinda alluring to me.
