Besides the many fabulous 3D scanned objects, the Quixel folks have an immense collection of scanned textures. These are texture Atlases, which means a related series of images (from one to over a dozen) with a single shared set of maps. These are essentially detailed photo scanned decals that have no provided geometry. These aren't free, but pretty close to it. The current pricing amounts to about .50 cents per Atlas collection. A minimal $19 US (cancellable after one month) gives 30 points + $25 for an additional 50 points purchases 80 atlas collections (at a cost of one point per collection). Take a look at the offerings:

Given the multiple image assets; ranging from grasses, shrubs, leaves, pine needles, and so on, it's hard to not consider these a huge bargain. There are many images that are simple billboard material, other collections enable construction of more detailed 3D geometry with high quality image 'parts'. I've attached a couple of examples rendered in TG, both simple billboard types.
