There are only two kinds of flowers in Minecraft. As you walk along the grass, it feels empty. If we had more kinds of flowers, these problems would be fixed. I give you the Flower Update, adding new flowers to Minecraft.
Marigold
The Flower is a strange item. Why is it called a Flower if there is a Rose (And other flowers on the list)? I suggest the Flower should be renamed a Marigold because of its yellow color. Nothing else should be changed about this flower. Dreadgloom
The Dreadgloom is a new plant that rarely spawns. It is a dark purple color and black dust surrounds it. When picked by a hand, it turns into black dust. When the Dirt underneath is mined, the Dreadgloom drops as an item. When placed down, the Dreadgloom attracts Zombies, Silverfish, and Cave Spiders. Athula
The Athula spawns in Taiga biomes and is a white color. It is 0.5 blocks tall and has no special purpose. It can be placed on Dirt, Grass, and Snow (Block) blocks. Felicia
The Felicia has the looks and properties of the Cyan Flower from the Pocket Edition Minecraft. It has no purpose other than decoration and spawns a little rarer than Roses or Flowers. Sunflower
The Sunflower spawns anywhere except underground and Taiga biomes. As it gets older, it grows up to 3 blocks high. When destroyed, the Sunflower drops Sunflower Seeds. These seeds can be eaten for 0.5 Hunger Points or planted to grow a new Sunflower. Sunflowers Seeds can be smelted into Raisins as well, which can be eaten for 2 Hunger Points. Calypso
The Calypso is a flower that has a yellow stem and a purple "head". It is 0.5 blocks tall and attracts Bats. Night Terror
Night Terrors grow in the Nether, usually near Lava. When picked, it drops as an item. Night Terrors make your Hunger deplete 1.5 times as fast but scares away Nether mobs.
Now that you saw the flowers, I also have ideas for new vegetation.
Tall Grass
Tall Grass appears in the Swamp, Taiga, and Plains biomes and is two blocks tall. When broken, 1-2 Silverfish have a small chance of coming out of the grass. If the grass is broken by Shears, the Tall Grass drops as an item and no Silverfish come out. Berry Bush The Berry Bush is found in the Swamp biome and grows one Berry per Minecraft day, up to five at a time. The Berry is picked by right-clicking the bush and can be eaten for 1 Hunger Point. By breaking the bush, it drops as an item along with its grown Berries. By being placed on Netherrack, it does not grow Berries. Thorn Bush Thorn Bushes spawn anywhere except in Desert biomes. They work like Cacti, but can be placed in a diagonal line and cannot be placed on top of another. Endsong The End is blank. I like that, but I think it could use something. The Endsong is similar to a Cocoa Bean plant hanging off a tree but comes out of the ground. When picked, the Endsong drops as an item. It can be planted into Grass after picked, making nearby Grass turn to Dirt until the Endsong is picked again.
What do you think of the new flowers and plants? Please answer the poll and reply if you want to.
I like them as purely aesthetic, if you could think of some other flowers that would look nice, even without a use, I would be quite happy. I doubt flowers are hard to implement, anyway. What about a cyan flower (like the pocket edition) that gives you cyan dye? Or bluebells? And what about other grasses? Just some ideas.
I do agree with llamadodo about the nether flower, though.
Maybe there could be flowers with medicinal purposes? Or that grant limited potion-like effects (or new effects).
I must concur about the nether flower.
I'm not sure I agree with the Sunflower --> Raisin thing, but maybe we could think of more uses for the sunflower? Maybe it emits bright light and could be used in place of torches in certain situations - if this were so, though, you'd want to make it rare.
I like the idea of more flowers though, and I'm 100% on-board with the Marigold rename. Can you think of any other flowers that might be fun?

What about not-so-bright light, but more common? If they could only be planted on dirt, they might help out during the first couple of days if you were to busy to make torches.
While I know this is not a flower, how about 3/2 to 2 block tall grass?
Just a suggestion, I think you might want to take out the "and mobs with uses" part from the title, I think some people may be scared away as it makes it sound like a wishlist.

I was going to add a flower mob, but I decided not to. I'll change the title if I can.

I'll think about changing the Sunflower. Maybe a Calypso or Venus Fly Trap?

More grasses seem like a nice idea. Also, I'll add the Cyan Flower immediately.

It would be useful for keeping people away from your home.
