This brooch is one of my favourite accessories. It is a large red orchid flower. I am wearing mine with everything - dresses, jackets, vest, t-shirt. The flower is approx 7cm by 6cm.
Orchids can impart a wide variety of messages, but historically the meanings of orchids have included wealth, love, and beauty. To the ancient Greeks, orchids suggested virility, and after the rise in popularity of orchid collections in Victorian England, the meaning of orchids moved towards being symbolic of luxury. Orchids have also been believed to carry various healing and protective properties, allowing them to ward off disease.
