This mod has been merged into Carpenter's Blocks and will be receiving updates there.
Description
Vanilla Minecraft flower pots introduced a new aesthetic into the game that was both welcome and visually pleasing. With the good comes the bad, however - you can't color them, you can't plant other mods' plants and saplings in them, and they're just plain boring (but obviously within scope of the vanilla game)!
I present to you the Painter's Flower Pot. Would you like to plant almost any plant or leaf block in the flower pot? How about coloring the pot, or covering it in cobblestone, moss stone, or brick? Are rainbow colors your thing? All these are now possible using this innovative, but simple, flower pot. In addition, the cactus rendering has been reimagined to incorporate a truer cactus-like look with spines.

Crafting
To craft the Painter's Flower Pot, you must first shape it using three clay.
If you have conflicting recipes, you can also shape it using four clay.
Then, fire it in a furnace!
How to Use This Mod
You must place soil in the pot before you can plant anything. Place soil in the pot by right-clicking with a valid soil block. If the block is ground-type, sand-type, or grass-type, it will work.
Vanilla wild grasses have a configurable color-override to provide a clean, green appearance regardless of biome (enabled by default).
The pots can be dyed by right-clicking on them with any of the sixteen available dye types. You can color the pot in rainbow colors by right-clicking it with a glistening melon. If you want the new Painter's color, use an ender pearl.
The pots can be covered using almost any regular block, including mod blocks. Right click the pot with a block in hand, and if the block is a valid cover, the pot will be covered in that block's texture.
The pots have a modular construction. Left click the pot to eject the plant, then the soil, and, if covered, dyed, or painted, the associated item or block. This process will strip the pot of all attributes and return all materials to you.
Soil, plants, covers, and pot colors can be changed at any time. Replacing soil while a plant is present, however, will eject the existing plant from the pot.
When replacing the soil, plant, cover, or pot appearance, the existing attribute, if applicable, will eject from the pot for recovery.

Bugs / Crash Reports / Suggestions
Being my first released mod, I've painstakingly tried working out all the bugs myself, but I can't guarantee more won't pop up. If your game crashes due to my mod, please post a crash report and I will do my best to resolve the matter promptly. If you have suggestions for how to improve my mod, please let me know. Keep in mind that not all plants are able to be planted, but most* can be - this is not a bug!
* Note: Does not fully support rendering, lighting and/or particle effects for all plants. Known incompatibilities exist for Forestry saplings.
Mod Packs / Private Server Use
You're permitted to distribute this mod as part of a mod pack, whether for public or private use. A link to this thread is all that is asked so users are able to understand how to use the mod.
To illustrate the use of my mod in my banner picture, I've planted various flowers from vanilla Minecraft and also from MatrexsVigil's wonderful Weee! Flowers mod. Other leaf blocks, saplings, and plants shown are from Thaumcraft 3, ExtraBiomesXL and Forgotten Nature.
ShalimarMace gave valuable input throughout the design process.
I can see you must have put a good amount of effort into this, Congrats! I look forward to see this mod with more compatabilitys and other special things!
Nice job,
~Mw119

This mod doesn't seem to want to function for me.
EDIT: Cancel that, got it to work. Seems like I've got a conflicting mod - when I track it down I'll let you know. This is FANTASTIC, and just what I was looking for. Thanks a bunch.
This is a wonderful mod, I was able to take part in the design process when it was being created. I highly suggest that people try it out, it is very unique.
Made a Painterly Pack-matched terrain.png for this mod.
Most of the dyed pots are overlays with the reddish stripe intact, but a few got special attention: the gold, iron, diamond, emerald, and rainbow pots were recolored by hand (although it's not too obvious on the rainbow). Brown and blue, too, to match dark wood and lapis lazuli. Also, the unfired painter's pot was recolored using the blue clay-ball item.
There's two versions of this, one with gold stripes on the special ones (except gold and rainbow) and one with no stripes on the precious-materials pots and red stripes on brown and blue.
You'll have to rename the one you want "terrain.png" and use it to replace the image in this mod's zip file.
Hello. This is an amazing mod. Thank you for creating it.
I would like to point out one anomaly that occurs with Ars Magica (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1486184-146-v532272-ars-magica-an-advanced-magic-mod-for-minecraft/) --there are two flowers that appear naturally in the environment with this mod. They both fit into your pots just fine. However, one of the flowers (called Blue Orchid) glows when planted on grass, but not when planted in your pots. I don't know if there's anything you can do about that.
Excellent functionality! Thanks for making this available to the community.

Those orchids are pretty.
It's not unexpected for it to not glow when a glowing plant is in the pot.. but I have considered adding that ability. Things like particles flying out of flowers, on the other hand, I'm not so sure about. I will have a look at it when I get time.
I just pushed an update for the flower pot. Glowing and sparkling plants will now glow and sparkle accordingly when planted in the flower pot. There are a couple known exceptions that are noted in the OP in case anyone wonders why something doesn't work.
djchrisblue - The blue orchid works exactly as it should now. Actually, it looks.. better. When I was planting the orchid in grass alone it appeared to be shaded, and not as luminescent.

Curse PremiumThose textures look great. Never used painterly pack myself, but I do like the customization.
I just tried the link and it all seems to be in order. Dropbox may have had a hiccup in service.
