France 1970 'Flowers' Series

France · 1970 ·

This definitive series from 1970 features four different flowers native to France, rendered in vibrant, detailed color. The designs showcase the botanical beauty of the nation's flora, including species like the Pyrenean Lily and the Martagon Lily. The stamps were part of a long-running tradition of using nature as a theme for definitive issues.
