This beautiful flower is an Asian 'Slipper orchid' ( Paphiopedilum insigne). In Latin 'insigne' means 'Badge of honor' and the magnificent flower justifies the name.

I took this shot at the 'Flower Exhibition Centre', Gangtok, Sikkim, India.

Size of the Pin Badge: < 1 ¼ ” x 1 ¼ ”

The Fovant Badges are a set of regimental badges cut into a chalk hill, Fovant Down, near Fovant, in southwest Wiltshire, England. They are located between Salisbury and Shaftesbury on the A30 road in the Nadder valley; or approximately 1⁄2 mile (800 m) southeast of Fovant. They were created by soldiers garrisoned nearby, and waiting to go to France, during the First World War; the first in 1916. They are clearly visible from the A30 road which runs through the village. Nine of the original twenty remain, and are scheduled ancient monuments and recognised by the Imperial War Museum as war memorials. Further badges have been added more recently.

Thank you all for taking the time to view, like and comment on our work, we appreciate the support very much.

Found this badge left on a wooden bench in Colindale. I was struck by the vibrancy of the badge against the grey colour of the wood.

by Van Der Brink Auctions

a sample of the lil badges my friends has made me!!!

It's like a Sherriff's badge, except it earns me approximately zero authority. I tried roughing up some perps, and they kicked my ass. They cut me. They cut me bad.

Anyway. DexCon badge. This and the picture right after it are about the only photographic evidence of the weekend. If I showed you the rest, I'd have to kill you. Or maybe you'd have to kill me. Something like that.

Akihabara, Tokyo, Japan

April 2, 2007. It's a rather chilly spring this year.

I made this badge back in January as a small gesture of support for Charlie Hebdo.

Sadly, after the events in Paris last night, I am wearing it again.

1929 Auburn Speedster

Greenfield Village Old Car Festival

Dearborn, Michigan

This is the radiator badge of the red and black 1929 Auburn Speedster seen at the 2011 Greenfield Village Old Car Festival, which we attended with Steve Brown (sjb4photos); there was also a blue and silver 1929 Auburn Speedster at the show (photos of both cars were posted earlier and are in the album for the Old Car Festival). According to information in the Classic Car Database, the Speedster was part of Auburn's 8-90 series; weighed 3,245 pounds and rode a 125-inch wheelbase; was powered by a 246.7 cid Lycoming straight-8 that produced 93 brake horsepower (24.6 "rated" horsepower); and was priced at $1,495 when new (approximately $22,032 in 2018 dollars -- seems a bargain). It is designated a Full Classic by the Classic Car Club of America.
