Description
This stamp magnificently closes this floral series by highlighting Jasmine, national flower and absolute symbol of Tunisian identity. Jalal Ben Abdallah's illustration captures with rare elegance the pink buds and delicate starry white flowers, whose scent is inseparable from the gardens of Sidi Bou Saïd, the alleys of the Medina and the balmy summer evenings.

Beyond its botanical beauty, jasmine embodies purity, conviviality and the very soul of the Tunisian people. It bears witness to the country's festive finery and legendary hospitality, establishing itself as a true ambassador of the gentle Mediterranean way of life. By devoting the highest value of this issue to jasmine, the Republic affirms the importance of this sensory heritage as a pillar of national pride. This stamp transforms a simple flowering branch into a universal symbol of grace and resilience, anchoring collective memory in plant poetry that continues to bloom through generations.
