Boutonnière - the pink camellia in the buttonhole
"The Lady of the Camellias" was the most successful novel by the French author Alexandre Dumas the Elder. J. and Giuseppe Verdi set the drama to music in the opera “La traviata” in 1853. The eponymous lady is only allowed to give camellias, she promises to give up her dissolute life and dies in the end. That’s tragic. For the boutonnière on the lapel today that means: sensitivity, romance and a weakness for the elegant lifestyle in Paris around 1848. A good choice for a visit to the opera.

In every flower there is an almost forgotten craftsmanship (not in the least comparable to products from Far Eastern countries).
