Thanks to Dar'ShonDo for this outstanding video
General Information
:
I've placed over 3000 rare and colorful alchemy plant variants in locations all across Skyrim. There are now over 80 different plants featuring some from Morrowind. Many of these herbs have properties that differ from the common strains and the plants from Morrowind are extremely potent.Compatibility

Mods that add plantable flora will need a patch
-Complete Alchemy and Cooking Overhaul
patch update forthcoming for version 3. 6 of TAO and the latest version of CACO- Realistic Water Two must be loaded AFTER this mod. LOOT will not give you the right load order!!! There is no need for a patch for TAO and water mods if you adjust the load order. These dirty edits happen whenever an object is placed near water in CK. Purity users should follow the load order from LOOT (TAO should be loaded BEFORE Purity according to user feedback)
