By request, I merged More Colorful Harvest & More, More Colorful Bathroom Art, More Colorful Fishy Stuff, & More Colorful Potted Plants into the same file. I will leave up the individual files in case you don't want everything. This file is over 4 times the size of the last version of More Colorful Harvest. I left the esp name of MCH the same name so the scripting will not go wonky.

Please refer to each page for its usage and screenshots. More Colorful Harvest adds new colors to vanilla plants using in game plants with altered textures to make a bigger variety of colors for the gardener in all of us. I am making this mod to compile many mods that only add a few things cluttering my Data folder. It will hopefully make many older mods that I use made with FO4edit obsolete. It ads many of the planters, pre-war & Institute trees and wild plants that normally would not be craftable and more.

This is my first voyage into Falout 4 modding and nif mashups so some of the nifs are not perfect. All can be crafted in your settlement workshop and assigned to settlers and will produce resources. Planters in Statues, trees in Miscellaneous and plants in Food. It does not add any new ingredients, nor does it alter any vanilla plants, and uses comparable ingredients for crafting. I did this since some ingredients are needed for certain quests and crafting.

Mod is as is, take it or leave it. I will probably be adding more vanilla wild plants and/or planters to the craft list later on. 

1.1:
Makes trees compatible with other tree mods also with custom re-colors. No more overwriting files from other mods.
Adds more potted plants.

1.0:
Merges More Colorful Harvest & More, More Colorful Bathroom Art, More Colorful Fishy Stuff, & More Colorful Potted Plants into the same file.

0.99
added missing wild razorgrain texture. 

0.98 
scripted custom menu.
Start a new game after download.
I've included an uninstaller because it came with the scripts, but I will not support it or try to fix it.
 
0.97
(Hopefully) fixed the wild razorgrain by replacing the mesh with a domestic razorgrain to give its ingredient and re-colored the texture so it's identifiable. Will conflict with any mod that changes the wild razorgrain.
Fixed the chessboard.
Fixed the wild gourd planter, again.

0.96
fixed a few missing textures and put everything in a "More Colorful" sub-folder.

0.95
more planted benches
2 aquariums with two glass options (sorry no moving fish) 
Mirelurk Queen Dome (see screenshots)
Bloatfly Dome
a few more potted plants
a few more terrariums with two glass color options
Made the terrariums harvestable and assignable. (They will remove the old terrariums from the game)
a few trees that I missed the last time around
Planters give 3 of each ingredient to player, this will help with those hard to find plants but still be within reason. 
adds NPC farming markers to plants. 
A tricycle with a few blocks just for fun.

Two benches 
2 terrariums
potted plants
fixed the holly bush that keeps trying to go in the ground.

Known Issues:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Items will not show up if you do not have the ingredients to craft them, although they are in the menu.Most items have no art objects. I will try to fix this after I've taken a break for a while.It takes about a minute for all the menu items to show up in the crafting menu. This is scripted. Wait at least a minute before opening the crafting menu upon game startup.My menu may not show up at all if you have another scripted crafting mod installed if you download mid game. Sometimes the menus get stuck. Leave the sub-menu then return and it should work again.
