    I hadn't heard that information at all previously? Did you "hear" that from an official source, Brock? Did I miss that posting?
    I hadn't been aware that this had come to light and the brooch is still referred to as the Irish Blossom on at least two other jewels sites. (Royal Forums: QEII Brooches and also on "From Her Majesty's Jewel Vault") It could get confusing if it has another name only on this board.
