Mr Bennet first appears holding a plant, an orchid. Given this flower was still very rare in England when the book was written (mid 1790's) and the majority of known orchid plants were grown at Kew Gardens hot houses, the few specimens that were in public circulation were in the hands of the very wealthy. It is therefore unlikely that Mr Bennett would have access to this particular plant.
