I find those Australians above quite appealing. Here is one from Austria's current flower definitive series. Clean look, uncluttered, very well printed also.

A silk FDC showing roses...unfortunately, the silk cachet on these just never scan well for me, maybe they are too shiny. It's much nicer looking in person.

My poppy collection is slowly growing. This one came today...poppies and other meadow flowers on a minisheet on a Moldova 2009 FDC. The colors look much deeper in person.

Do you know what that last (dark) flower is?

Hi,

It's Eminium Lehmannii if it helps.

Thanks - Yes it helps. Seems it is some type of wild bulb flower that is similar to various lilies maybe. It's in the same subfamily as a Calla Lily. It's very pretty. The Calla Lily is my favorite flower and that Eminium Lehmannii looks almost like a black one...which is why I was curious about it to begin with.

iomoon · **Posted:** Sat Jan 09, 2010 03:19:57 am

It is Eminium lehmannii, native to Central Asia and without a common name.

They are very interesting...I think I am going to try to find a bulb and grow one, if the bulbs can be found. Though west Texas is not really a central Asian climate...possibly I will kill it like my high humidity loving bat flowers.

iomoon · **Posted:** Sat Jan 09, 2010 03:46:54 am

I think your best bet would have been at the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew.

I don't know whether they sell flowers, or if they are importable to the USA.

Draccae · **Posted:** Sat Jan 09, 2010 04:12:48 am

That's a good idea, I put in an email to them.

Malaysian Highland Flowers

crosscrescent · **Posted:** Sun Jan 10, 2010 16:35:34 pm

Unique flowers of Malaysia.

The third stamp is also known as 'Drunken Sailor". They start off as white, turn to pink and end up red. Gives off a perfume of its own, which may not exactly be liked by everyone. Used to plant this before but it needs space which my miniature garden does not allow.

Bakawali - miniature sheet of the Unique Flowers of Malaysia

Supposedly opens at night and gives off a strong perfume.

This petals in the perforated area has had lacquer applied to it to give them a shiner look.

Kimberley tried to display scan of the $10 Waratah minisheet.

The top one was a limited edition overprint of 100 issued by Canberra Philatelic Society
for their 2008 Stampshow.

The flower is embossed on the paper, producing a magnificient result.
Unfortunately due to the issue price I only purchased one of each type.
but should have bought at least a dozen for resale.

In answer to your question yes it is really a flower, the golden wattle is a rather common plant (or at least in my neighbourhood

)

Here is a 1974 Polish set of 6 I recently found in one of my old albums.

The flowers are (in order of value): Iris, Dandelion, Rose, Thistle, Cornflower and a Clover
All the stamps are drawn by S. Wyspianski

I remember this set, in some sheetlets form, the design is so neat and elegant. I would say it is one of the most attractive KSA modern issues ~

Two more poppies (sorry about the dark scan lines at the top, I can't get them very straight if I don't put them up at the very top).
