Plant Badge: Heraldry for common Scots

[MacWage]

I think you are supposed to wear a Kudzu plant twig with the Sate of Georgia tartan.

Careful it doesn't take over your cap, or head!!

By the way, is there anywhere that STOCKS Georgia tartan in either Cotton or wool?

I have a question and would like some help. I have been making clan crest badges and am just about ready to launch a web site to sell them along with some other clan related items. I am also developing items as i get ideas or see something i can do. As I was working on the crest badges, it was brought up about the clan plant or the actual clan badge. I have the template for the badge/pin and I will be using botanical illustrations, as opposed to photos, for the badges. (A pin or button about 2.25 inched in diameter, metal shell, mylar covering,pin back). Now comes the hard part. I am having a hard time finding illustrations of the actual plant ie: the rock ivy or the Scottish Thistle, as listed at various sites. If I used an illustration of any thislte or ivy would it matter?

In another thread, Matt Newsome mentioned today that it is the only state tartan being produced, and by Strathmore. See http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/s...t=25277&page=3

I need to find some Scots Pine (MacGregor). How much different is that from "Pine tree" pine is that?
