Description
This low denomination stamp features Ophrys lapethica, a fascinating wild orchid. The illustration by A. Fekih accurately shows the flower's complex lip, which mimics the appearance of an insect to promote pollination.
This stamp highlights the fragility and splendor of Tunisian flora. It raises awareness of the protection of native orchids, often threatened by urbanization, and promotes the botanical richness of the hills and scrublands of the north of the country.
