Thanks to Rob/Rohan/ Gunter
I place flowers on all my command bases these days, what ever the period being played. If the unit has no flag, rare I accept, then it helps with identification. The manufacturer is Minin Natur Silflor and I get them via Brian at Mutineer Miniatures, through the mail and at shows.

Even my recent Late Roan/Hunnic arny has them! Pictures to follow once I sort out my broken camera.
I currently have about 18 various packs of their tufts and flowers open and being used. I tend to use the late summer and early fall for the greenery generally, with their late fall range for more arid terrain.
The cloth flags are all my own work. I have a library of about 100 unit flags for this period - either accurate or very likely designs for those where no or little information is available. Check out the pictures in my earlier posts on the Boyne, Aughrim and Sedgemoor games and on our group website:

Gunter - I rarely paint for others but I do find the early C18th period so refreshing and relaxing so I may be able to assist. Please send me a PM if you wish to discuss further. Thanks.
