Increase in Columbine resource nodes?

Since One Tamriel dropped I've been finding Columbine everywhere! Has anyone else experienced this? Maybe ZoS increased the resource nodes for Columbine? I've not researched the guild stores to see if there was an effect on prices though.

    If sth. good regarding loot happens you should not announce it on forums. Chances are good it´s not intended and will be "fixed" after it went public.

    I've seen it a little more regularly than I used, but it's also bigger / been remodelled, so it doesn't hug the ground anymore. Even with the keen eye passive it used to be hard.

    Probably just luck. Columbine shares spawn with all the flowers.

    More players farming nodes means the nodes spawn faster. I see loads of Nightshade when I farm.

    That could be it actually, I usually ignore the other alchemy plants.

    The design of the columbine changed, as @Seri said. But having actively farmed the flower spots before and after OT, I can't say the drop rates have increased.

    I haven't noticed a difference, but the RNG can be quite streaky. If you're still marveling about how much Columbine there is a month from now, however, then the spawn rate may indeed have changed.

    Or the RNG has not been changed and is still just as streaky as ever. ;)

    Woops! Sorry! But as stated above, it may be other factors and not an actual increase in spawns.

    I don't know if it is spawning more or if it just is more visible.

    They made the flower parts bigger. Now my game is full of GMO columbine :P
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    I was finding a lot in the past and I didn't even have the passive for spotting them. I think I have 3-4 stacks of the stuff, as well as other plants. One of the most common actually, slightly behind wormwood, lady smock and blessed thistle.

    As one of the greatest gatherers of flowers and mats on the PS4 megaserver, I can categorically say Columbine has reduced dramatically in all of Tamriel, well Wrothgar at least. I've managed to find 3 since last week while Namira's Rot is in abundance. I've resorted to buying them, something I've never done before but I can still make a healthy profit from health potions, just not as much as before.

    I've noticed no increases.
