Carnivorous Plants - Thailand

I always fancy floral stamps particularly of those depicting carnivorous plants. Thai Postal Authority released a set of beautiful stamps on carninovour plants on 9 October, 2006. Four stamps depicting Nepenthes mirabilis (pitcher plant), Rafflesia kerrii (Rafflesia flower), Sapria poilanei and Drosera burmannii were issued. Postal authority of Brunei also released this kind of stamps in year 2000. Click here to see the Brunei stamp set.
