FLORAL EMBLEMS. 
GAIETY. 
Butterfly Orchis. — Habenaria bifolia. 
“ The orchis race with vary’d beauty charm. 
And mock the exploring bee or fly’s aerial form.” 
Mrs. Charlotte Smith. 
The butterfly, by its airy movements and 
its showy embellishments, gives naturally an 
idea of gaiety; and from hence the flower, 
which is thought to resemble this short-lived 
insect, has been selected for this emblem. 
“ Like some fair flow’r that early spring supplies. 
That gaily blooms, but ev’n in blooming dies.” 
Pope. 
GALLANTRY. —See CRAFTINESS.
