South African Flowers

I recently came across these flowers, native to South Africa, that I find quite similar to the element I am currently working with.
ROMULEAS
The Romulea Cruciata grows on sandstone and granite slopes and rocks.

The ixia is often given as a gift on happy occasions.



My element consists of two identical pieces riveted together. There's potential for so many different pieces that I still to need to translate to paper. First, though, I'm making a pair of drop earrings. Should be finished tomorrow, so stay tuned!
The Amaryllis is also known as the Belladonna Lily or naked ladies because of it's tall stems and precious flowers.
I'm wondering how to use this flower in my jewellery because I think it's gorgeous!
