All meadows generate way too many flowers now, and they don't have nearly as much tallgrass anymore.
The flowers are usually the same type throughout the entire biome, red ones seem to be much more common.
Trees are way more frequent than they should be, though that may be related to the bee nests generating too often.
Although the previous versions were missing an entire array of flowers, it was still much closer to the generation seen on Java Edition and was much easier on the eyes.
Notes: It seems that the flowers are generating randomly like tallgrass, instead of generating in patches.

Can confirm in 1.18.0.27 in relation to flower generation causing them to over generate compared to Java Edition.

Beehives generating too often as a result, here is two examples I found. Causes entity lag due to the amount of bees spawning

I’m surprised this hasn’t been patched. It doesn’t feel like it’d be the most complicated fix as far as bugs go. Not only that, but the update drops in a few days and meadows are one of the new biomes added specifically in this update. I’m surprised they seem ok with their current state.
Meadows generate 3 noise fields of flower types, where the type is randomised. Included in the types is tall grass, but it is not guaranteed to generate.
Sometimes meadows will generate with a consistent spread of tall grass, and if one of the noise fields were always forced to this configuration then it would lead to more visually pleasing meadows and closer parity to Java.
