True orange buttons in Bakelite don't land in my collection as often as I'd like them to. That being the case, I felt so lucky to find this deeply grooved flower a few years ago during one of my cross-country antiquing pursuits. Where I found this shiny button and how much I spent are lost on me now, but here it is. Having the look of a cactus bred with a tulip, I'm not sure what to make of the design. Even so, this is one of my all-time favorites.
