I believe the Flame Lily, viewed from this angle, would look quite different. I'll try & find an example....
Nearest I can find that is not too bad to compare is Getty #101641976 (Epsom Derby 2010)
I think the weight & balance of the design of the mystery brooch appears to be as if it has a simple stalk, with small detail at the top, whereas the Flame Lily has a bulge of interest at the centre too, due to the leaf detail.
