I think pins that size would have been considered “scatter pins,” meant to be worn in a loose grouping. They’re light enough to be worn on sweaters, and for some reason that’s how I’m picturing them. As to why an orchid - aside from their beauty - it could be because orchids were considered to be pretty exotic back then (I’m thinking 50’s through 60’s), and orchid corsages were sort of the height of “special” to mark special occasions.
