as the snow softly falls (again!), let us turn our minds to spring and flowers. I chose some samples of Slovenian stamps with delicate flowers, all designed by Julija Zornik as part of the 2007 series of Flowers of Slovenija
pasque flower (pulsatilla grandis)
Adriatic Lizard orchid (himantoglossum adriaticum) on the left
and a Bertoloni columbine (aquilegia bertolonii)
there are more flowers on stamps to be found here
I think I received one of these (the Lezard orchid). They look beautiful!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! thank you for participating.
ReplyDeleteSadly all our pretty spring flowers are under around six feet of snow. It was nice to see these even if they are all on stamps. That lizard orchid is a real oddity isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI see you have a pulsatilla too; mine was p. vulgaris I've since found out. Super orchid.
ReplyDeleteI love columbines but not fond of orchids. I seem to be in a minority on the orchids, or is it just that they have rarity value?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I hope the real ones start appearing soon.
ReplyDeletethose are beautiful flowers, something to remind me that it will be spring, someday....
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely delicate flower stamps. I do like aquilegia in a garden, can't wait for them to appear this year.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stamps!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful selection. I love the first one,lavender and gold seems like a perfect color combination.
