Bloom in these much loved purple orchids.
These statement earrings are inspired by the Cooktown Orchid, a beautiful plant that's Queensland's floral emblem. While the Cooktown Orchid is usually found in the open forests of Cape York Peninsular, you can wear these floral hoop earrings anywhere and anytime.
Made from purple mirror and white acrylic, these dazzling flowers are sure to attract a sweet little visitor… Oh hang on, there they are!!! Choose either the beautiful golden Queen Bee or the stunning Australian native metallic Blue Banded Bee to land on your earlobes.
Story behind the design
The Cooktown Orchid is so synonymous with Queensland as the state’s floral emblem it is even an ‘anti-fatigue trivia’ question at various sites on the Bruce Highway that runs along the coast from Brisbane to Cairns. It is widely regarded as Australia’s most attractive endemic orchid. For many people the very name ‘Cooktown Orchid’ invokes images of tropical rainforests running down to seas filled with coral, and beaches with waving palm trees. However, this is not so, it is instead mostly found in the very different biographical zone of the open forests of Cape York Peninsular, rather than growing in the renowned Wet Tropics to the south of Cooktown as is widely believed.
