I realize my post wasn´t clear, and am sorry if it caused confusion.

The hibiscus brooch was unknown to me, I cannot remember having seen it previously.
However, I vaguely remember reading on this board in 2006 that Queen Elizabeth II wore a brooch inherited from her (by then) late mother. I also remember it had once been a gift to QEQM from Australia, but didn´t take any notes and only remembered once Brian and Maridje repeated the story.
