Extreme Hills indeed look cool, but they are just that - hills. Such hills simply get boring after a while - there is very few flat places to build on and admire the scenery. This biome offers a flat place to build, a pop of color to the drab blue-green of the mountains and possible Villages hidden within the treacherous slopes.
Features
The main feature of the Alpine Meadow biome is the sheer amount of flowers. Each Grass block exposed to air has a 98% chance of spawning a random 1-block high flower, a 1% chance of having a Spruce tree, and a 1% chance of spawning Tall Grass. The other main feature is the flatness of the Meadow: The terrain is restricted to generate at bands of height 81-83, 115-117, 156-159, and 200-203, depending on the average height of the biome. This restriction applies even to the AMPLIFIED generation option, much like Swamps. Lastly, the size of this rare biome is roughly the same as Flower Forests: roughly 200 square meters in area(?).
Generated Structures
The flatness of the Alpine Biome serves as a valid candidate for Villages to generate in this biome. The main material for these Villages is Spruce, unlike the regular Oak wood used for the villages. They have the same characteristics as the other Villages.
What do you think?

Feel free to help out my dragon! Keep views to a minimum please!
i like it! it sounds like a place i would make many of my bases (i make them in snowy tagia and extreme hills normally)
could you make some screen shots of it?

I made a Feed The Beast modpack! Simply type "Experiment812390" without quotes into the 3rD party codes area and you can see the mods list and install!

my profile picture is the A-10 thunderbolt II the successor of the first thunderbolt used in WWII by the USAF both excel in air support and ground attacks
the A-10 also sports the GAU-8 Avenger a 30MM hydraulic gatling type autocannon
Support, but I think it should only spawn the light colored flowers.
The meadow doesn't have to be just light-coloured flowers. Here's a image of a real Alpine Meadow for reference (shamelessly ripped from Google images:

OHHH U FELL FOR IT! OOOOOHHH
I'll try. Just have to get an Extreme Hills Biome to generate as I need it to...
I support this! I like the idea of there being another rare biome! Question, how rare is it? (like a mooshroom biome?)
GENERATION 27: The first time you see this, copy it into your sig on any forum and add 1 to the generation. Social experiment.
I like this!

Essentialy, the Alpine Meadow is the Flower Forest of Extreme Hills, and has the same rarity as such.
