Flax Models and Textures

Not quite a Bug Report, not quite a Feature Request, but sort of halfway in-between.
The models and textures of the Wild Flax and Flax Crop blocks have always felt lacking to me, compared to the rest of the textures in the mod.
Wild Flax having a complex grid of planes unlike any other grass or flower in the vanilla game makes it stand out to me, where I believe it should be the opposite, it should blend into the surroundings to make it feel more at home, I would pitch making the model a regular cross shape like the other grass, and making the texture bulkier and more grass-like:
^ An example of my personal approach.
The Flax Crop is also inconsistent, being a cross shape with random offset like a naturally occurring flower, rather than the # shape like every other farmland crop.
How I would approach it myself, would be to make the plant multiple smaller stalks, similar to Wheat:
This is all just my opinion on the only thing in the mod that bugs my needlessly picky brain.
I love everything else you do!
Oh wow those are some awesome textures!
To me personally I've felt the same for the wild variant and the one you made is an improvement for sure imo.
And for the crop one personally I was fine with the current stalk like plant as it was unique in a way and texture is nice. The one you made is great too, if I had to choose I'd probably struggle in choosing one.
Anyways as I've said I do like the wild one but I can't promise you I will add them as that decision also comes down to Plantkillable who is the main mod artist so I'll have to talk with him and see if he's ok
So I fixed the random offset which was indeed not intended. For the textures we are discussing
Hey as I've said before could I have permissions to incorporate the wild flax texture you made?
