L-R = Early Purple Orchid or as the Swede's call it, St Peter's Keys: Marsh helleborine; Elder-flowered orchids the two grow together in different colours, purple and white, so I rather like the Swedish name of Adam and Eve; lastly a Lady's Slipper.
The price of this stamp sheet included 1.60kr in aid of stamp collecting.

We now head into the esoteric growing of orchids by enthusiasts 18p Dendrobium hellwigianum from the mountains in east New Guinea the next 24p has so many Latin names I'll just say it is a clone and cross from Asia and Borneo
Cymbidium owianum (Low's Boat Orchid) introduced from Burma
33 another cross from the Himalayas and Thailand; 39 a variety of Dendribium vexillarius originally from the cloud forests of New Guinea

Yes! Beautiful, beautiful flowers and stamps!
Orchids are among the most beautiful flowers. I don't have any at home, but a neighbour grows orchids in her window... So I enjoy the view everyday!
I might have a couple of the stamps of this post.
Orchids are beautiful flowers, and they make for gorgeous stamps, too
Beautiful stamps of beautiful flowers. Not ones I can keep alive though. I hate seeing the dyed ones in the grocery store floral departments, they are so pretty in natural colors.
Beautiful blog
