Plant Badges

[Old Hippie]

Well, fortunately -- or unfortunately, if you're an oak tree -- mistletoe is ubiquitous. Whomever came up with Clan Hay's badge got lucky. That said, aside from the fact that I can pick up fresh mistletoe at least once a year when it goes on sale in stores at Christmas, there's lots of plastic versions.

So I'm set, neener, neener.

I would like a reproduction of the gold, green enamel and pearls brooch I saw illustrated in Moncrieffe's book, in the Hay section. Hadn't thought about that for years. Either as a cap badge or as a kilt pin it'd be a stunner.

Of course, I also have the silk dandelion -- reminder of the Passing of the Torch kilt night in Victoria.

Oak leaves the plant badge of Clan Cameron.

Illinois: Purple Violet and Big Bluestem Prairie Grass. Might not look too bad, but the Big Bluestem would sure stick up out of my bonnet!
