More new silflor stuff !
First up is a general picture of a field I made to demonstrate the different new bits:
http://www.barrule.com/jeds/fow/silflor/field.JPG
Crop Rows / Agrarian Land Strips
These are the new(ish) Silflor/Mininatur Crop Rows. These are made from the "Horsetail" ribbons that Silflor sell for making fir tress covered with a fine leaf flake material. They come in 4 varieties, spring, summer, early and late fall. I dont have the late fall version on this field as it is a bit too red for my tastes but it is the same as others but with a reddish/brown leaf flake.
These come in a couple of sizes codes 766-21, 766-22, 766-23, 766-24 which are all roughly 4mm tall, and then 766-31 to 766-34 which are about 6.5mm tall and use a larger leaf flake. The larger version is best for 28mm but too big for 15mm - the 4mm stuff you can see below is spot on for 15mm and up imo.

Next up are the new "weed-tufts"/"weeds".
These are the grass tufts covered by leaf flake again, so exactly the same as the crop rows except in distinct tufts. My personal opinion is that these are great and they work excellently as tufts of weeds, small scrubby bushes and even individual crop clumps.
Again they come is two heights 4mm and 6.5mm, the 4mm variety (codes 725-21 to 725-24) being best for 15mm, and the 725-31-725-34 for 28mm and up.

"Blossom tufts" / "Flowering weeds" / "Flowering tufts"
Next up are the blossom tufts. They changed the name of these from "flowering weeds" but they work well as wild flower tufts for fields and hedgerows, flowers in gardens and so on and so forth. Again the two distinct heights 4mm and 6.5mm and again the 4mm type is best for 15mm (codes 726-21 to 726-24). And the 6.5mm for 28mm and up (codes 726-21 to 726-34)
These are labelled by using the Spring, Summer, Autumn, Late Autumn system, however this is a bit of fudge and what they are is a bit more complex:
Firstly comes the height of the grass used in them: 726-2* being the 4mm tall version. Secondly comes the colour of the grass in the tufts: Spring = 726-*1, Summer = 726-*2, Autumn = 726-*3, late autumn = 726-*4.
Finally comes the colour of the blossom which isn’t actually listed, however the packs come with different colours of blossom for each "season" and those colours are mixed with white in each pack to give you a variety of different colour per tuft in each pack.
(I know, it is confusing but once you work it out it makes sense – honest!)
As an example, and as you can see below:
*726-21 is spring 4mm tufts with Yellow and white blossoms.
*726-22 is summer 4mm tufts with red to white tufts
*726-23 is sutumn 4mm tufts with lavender to white blossom
*726-24 is late autumn 4mm tufts with deep purple/brown to white blossom.
The 726-31 varieties are identical but using 6.5mm grass tufts, and are thus a bit too big for 15mm but fine for 28mm and up.

There is also a new "tuft" pack called "reeds" which is a VERY dark green that is about 6.5mm+ tall and works excellently as water-reeds for rivers, ponds, swamps and so forth (or just very dark green grass - and i mean VERY dark green)
