Orchids, 200 Different Stamps

This packet contains 200 stamps from countries around the world, all sharing a single beautiful theme: orchids. Orchids have long been one of the most popular subjects in topical stamp collecting, and it is easy to see why. The family Orchidaceae is one of the largest in the plant kingdom, with tens of thousands of species found on every continent except Antarctica. That remarkable variety gives stamp designers an nearly endless source of color, shape, and subject matter, resulting in some of the most visually striking botanical stamps ever produced.

Countries across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas have issued orchid stamps over the decades, and this collection draws from that wide international pool. Based on the stamps shown, issues from Benin, Madagascar, Laos, and other nations are represented, with denominations and designs ranging from small single-color stamps to large, richly illustrated souvenir sheets. The stamps depict a variety of orchid genera and species, including slipper orchids, cattleyas, and many others, each rendered in the detailed, colorful style that makes botanical stamps so appealing to display.

With 200 stamps in the lot, this collection offers excellent variety for the topical collector focused on flowers, plants, or nature themes. Please note that stamps will vary from those shown.
