How do I create a plant that is two blocks tall when placed, like a peony?

I have a model that is different on the top than the bottom, but they connect, kind of like the peony or a rose bush. Could someone help me with that? Thanks!

Make the plant's texture the bottom half of the plant. Then in the events portion of the block creation menu, make the "Update Tick" event run a procedure that places a block above itself. Make this the top block and texture it accordingly (the top block must be a regular block, not a plant.)

In the top block's event menu, again make the "Update Tick" event check for air below itself. If true, the block will be deleted, as that means the bottom half must have been destroyed.

Here is a link to download a workspace containing everything you will need!

Hey! Thanks for the help! But, how do I open the file? And also, I don't want to have a block that is in the game that is the top half of a block. It would make it too weird.

The link for the workspace still works, and I've already explained it. I'm also pretty sure the OP's either finished their mod or figured that out by now.

Help! I tried what you said, and the top block isn't spawning on top of the bottom one when I place the plant. Am I doing something wrong? Link to a google dock with my procedures in it: procedures

By the way, I'm on 2020.2 since I wanted to make this mod for 1.12.

I also can't seem to figure out how to open that workspace file that you posted. It might help if you posted a screenshot of it.
