Flora spread: Reduce maximum density

Previously, maximum flora density was chosen based on the extremely rare
occurrence of all 8 flowers being at high density at one location. This
caused flora everywhere to spread to an unacceptably high density.

Revert the threshold to 3, which in testing results in a more acceptable
maximum density of 7 flora per 9x9 area.
