I know some clans have a clan plant that you can tuck a sprig in behind your cap badge. My clan does not have a clan plant.
What is acceptable to wear on my balmoral?
Many clans/families/names will have affiliations with other clans (where they are sometimes considerd a "sept" - though this is more of an Irish term and not exactly appropriate for families that are considered members of larger clans). If your clan has ties to another clan, say the MacDonalds or whoever, you would be perfectly fine wearing the plant-badge of their clan if you wanted to.
