✅ SOLVED no idea what this was

Another item from late 1800s home site. Clearly it pinned on to something.....

interesting, this will be a wild guess and can't find anything like it. but maybe from an old corsage type pin or something? flowers inserted into top.

Tpm is on the mark - Boutonniere Pin.

Also known as a "Tussy Mussy".
