Plant Spreads

Do planets like the Lupine flower spread?

 

I created farmland and I just saw a random Horsetail plant spawn on it.

Tilled soil will do that, in fact it's one way to get horsetail although you can't manage their growth.

In terms of flowers, I could be completely wrong here, but over several in game years I never noticed any of the flower areas "drifting over time". So for me, the answer I would give is "no".  Although grass will regrow in areas that have burnt.

They don't. Maybe some day they will. As @Broccoli Clock already noted, farmland that isn't planted can spawn grass and horsetail as weeds, but won't spawn new flowers or other plants, at least not without mods. The only plant that actually spreads naturally by itself is grass, but even then it's limited to growing atop exposed dirt and clay.

A sad thing is that if a biome does not already have grass growing there, grass will not spread to dirt blocks placed in that biome. So you can't introduce grasslands into a desert or gravel biome. If you find a patch of grassy dirt, don't remove it because if you do it is gone forever.
